Nicely written. I have found my Samsung phone unlocked for no reason so many times I can't remember anymore. I am sure there is some way to use the emergency call or the ICE feature to bypass the lock screen. There seems like these features randomly gets activated while the phone is in the pocket as well.
Well, even though you consider it "nonsense" it was serious enough to be given consideration in their regulatory approvals.
Why does fucking up mean you're not smart? You have to be smart by some metric to get a job at Jane street.

Lots of smart people fuck up in finance, and "dumb" people even strike gold sometimes.
I’m sorry but why should it be our wealth? Billionaires seem to have a lot more spare cash sitting around, let them pay for it.
Because Chase actually does something sort of similar (primarily mortgage lending), but they employ a ton of people to think all day about managing risk.

So I think people don't like the comparison, since the true difference is FTX did horse betting, while Chase does something much more rational.
> Don't typical contracts for people like Twitter's staff in the US come with timing requirements on quitting? As in, you can't really quit "on the day", you have to leave proper notice and so on?

No. The vast majority of tech jobs are “at-will” on both sides: either party can terminate the relationship at any moment.

Giving two weeks’ notice is a cultural norm.
It's no different than email, though? If you sign off all your blog posts with your BBC email address, and you leave BBC and no longer have email access and can no longer log into your blog or wherever else you have grown dependent on that address for, then you are rightly an idiot for putting all these eggs in a basket you don't own. No one says we have to reengineer the email protocol, they just say to have an email address you control.
I wonder what the rate would be if ukgov had been acting rationally over the last few years
> You're mistaking the technical implementation of the Fediverse with the social contract that maintains its existence.

People are unpredictable. If there are "correct" ways of using the Fediverse, they need to be implemented into the code. Otherwise people can and will use it in whatever ways the code allows.

At any rate, there are many people, myself included, who don't really care if my posts get screenshotted or reposted outside of my server or circle of friends. How is someone supposed to determine to whom to apply this "social contract?"

Again, the default mode of thinking when posting anything to the internet should be "everyone, everywhere, forever into the future, will be able to see this." The Fedi is not immune from this rule.

> (That's also why the "quote tweet" feature from Twitter is absent on the Fediverse.)

It's absent from Mastodon. Other front ends support it. Not sure why Mastodon is holding out.
I wonder if some stores flag it. I've used it a lot with success, but once in a Walgreens they asked me for the name on the loyalty account after I punched it in.
You don't say how long your pw is; and I don't know how many tries, how quickly, FB allows. That's the only hole I see at a glance. I'm feeling 12 characters is now too low.
Touchscreens are terrible for users when they replace familiar and well-established physical controls. Touchscreens have made computer interfaces far more accessible, though - lots of people you see on, say, public transit flicking expertly through their phone never got nearly as handy with a mouse or trackpad. Toddlers use touch screens while decades of command line availability saw virtually no CLI adoption in that user segment.
I'm not sure I understand what Vocaloid does? Does it generate vocal parts "from scratch" / just from lyrics? Or is it more like a vocoder?

The track you reference sounds like chipmunks sped up 2x; it's not unpleasant to listen to, and fun, but I feel it could be made just like that (record at 80bpm, high pass filter, maybe transpose 1 octave, and speed up to 180), no "AI" involved.
It's a toilet?
You're missing several other options:

B) no one is paying that close attention to their performance in the first place or the metrics for performance themselves are setup in such a way that can be gamified and are therefore meaningless.

C) there really isn't enough work to justify a FTE for it.

My hunch is that its a combination of these two.

I've worked long enough to know that the mean time for work completion (assuming C is not the predominant factor) is more than 20% of your work week.
These kinds of faux insights are shallow.
Given what we saw in Netherlands with the dating apps this isn't going to make a single bit of difference.

Yes Apple may be forced to allow alternate stores and payment methods. But they will still collect their percentage (in Netherlands it was standard 15% - 3% discount). What happened of course is that apps ended up being far more expensive on alternate stores than on Apple's one.

And even worse for alternate stores is that it would be quite likely for technical reasons that your app could only be sold from one store. Which means you would have to give up the distribution of App Store for your largely insignificant one.

And note that this was all found to be compliant with the government: https://techcrunch.com/2022/06/13/apple-dutch-dating-apps-pa...
Interesting. However, I find mocks useful when I try to replicate error handling in case of unexpected exceptions.

One area Twitter hasn’t excelled in is adding new users.

Everything I have seen shows the strategy is “start with connections”.

The money is less important (multiple bankruptee becomes prez, Gates used IBM connections, Elizabeth Holmes got investors through family connections, yada yada yada).

There are lots of billionaires that started from upper-middle-class wealth. And other examples of children given huge money that blow it all.
They jack up the ‘normal’ prices to ludicrous levels so the ‘discount’ price looks like a discount.

Ive got covid last friday at my office. Large gathering of people without proper ventilation.

Now my company has to pay me while I'm laying in bed writing this as I'm not capable of doing much useful.

Im not a dev but a technician, I just solve tickets throug a computer. We never were more prodictive not had so much income. What was the point?

I won't sabotage this company but honestly, all companies doing this feel like they play their employees because they can.

If they want to treat me like this, then I don't see why should care about the business and not try to game the system as much as I can.

It's been hard because I have a work ethic, but cmon.

The fact that it's out of context and the tone is so different is what made me take it as not so serious and just a playful jab at Elixir.

I think the interpretation everyone seems to be taking (which is surprising to me personally!) is such that it's like Elon requiring people to put "Parody" in their name.
I live in San Francisco, and my only option for high-speed is Comcast. AT&T's fiber trunk runs a block away from me, but they are unwilling to run fiber to my home, and have suggested it would be several tens of thousands of dollars if I were to get it done myself.

The question people have to ask is, "If I'm considering buying now that it's low, how many people will I be having that thought ahead of?"

It's not dumb or even irrational. Or no more than any thought involving crypto is irrational.

Lots of people have made money catching a falling knife right before a big bounce.
Why call it 1950s style when it was most common mode of operation up to 2019? Elon already insisted Tesla engineers work on-site, so this move isn't too surprising. What leaves me puzzled is why would anyone decide to work there. Where's the carrot?
Haven't you ever been forced into a situation that turned out to be better in certain ways?

For many people, discovering the quality of life improvements afforded by remote work, that were forced on us by COVID, has been a blessing. Many have reasonably argued that there wasn't much loss in productivity compared with the huge boon in life satisfaction resulting from remote work.

Your comment doesn't respond to the opposing view as though it could be reasonable.

Okay, but what if a person sincerely does not want to participate in a medical trial? But then when he sees the dollar figure, he thinks "well, shit, I hate doing this, but I can't afford to turn that much money down."

Same reason we don't allow the purchase of kidneys, and the same reason we think it's unethical for a millionaire with a tophat and a monocle to offer two homeless guys a wad of money to the winner if they fight each other. Sure, it's an adult making a decision of their own free will- but it's obviously unethical.

And it's not just that some people still engage in those activities, but a lot of people are starting their carriers by direct influence from those tools.

And, this is subjective, but a lot of those tool-enabled artists seems to do better even in absence of such automagic enablers than non-enabled. Good AIs sharpen humans into unassuming Olympians, bad AIs just fall out of the Internet attention span.
This is the part you are overthinking: "Wouldn't it make the most sense..."

It would makes sense to hire a CEO. It would make sense to plan a layoff so you don't have to beg key people to return, etc. Musk frames this as making mistakes while working fast.

In this case it will push more people to leave. There is probably intent, if not exactly thought and planning behind this because Really Bad Things have not happened yet.

An indication that might change is that the CISO, security chief, and privacy chief resigned together, possibly with advice of counsel re the two FTC consent decrees.
> For example, adding two numbers and saving back to memory is safe to optimise (at least for the infinity case, I haven't double-checked the subnormal behaviour). It's only when you need to add three or more numbers that you run into issues (though you can go further, if all N numbers have the same sign, you will get the correct result, you just might have saturated at infinity a few operations earlier than native x87)

No, you cannot. Operations you can optimise are negation, nan, and infinity checks (ignoring pseudo nans and pseudo infinity checks of course).

fp80 has a 15bit exponent, and functionally a 63 significand, vs fp64's 11bit exponent and 52bit significand. When setting x87 to a reduced precision mode you aren't switching to fp64, you're getting a mix with a 15 bit exponent and a 53 significand. The effect is that you retain 53bits of precision for values where fp64 has entered subnormals, and conversely you maintain 53 bits of precision after fp64 has overflowed. There are perf benefits to reducing precision in x87 (at least in the 90s), but the main advantage is consistent rounding with fp64 while in the range of normalized fp64 values.
Does he has absolute no good counselors? Does he get advice from his roomies in the Bahamas?

This twitter thread, plus some others tweets he has deleted now, could get him into some real trouble.
Mostly, yeah. But microarchitectures do sometimes add new instruction set extensions, like how Intel's Skylake added AVX-512. Bitcode can be re-lowered to the new extended ISA to use these instructions (assuming you don't need to target earlier uarchs). Machine code, not as easily (and I don't think anyone really tries, though I'd be interested to learn if someone does).
What has Twitter innovated on in the past decade?

While I don't agree with the way Elon has been making this move, it's sure looking like he's trying to clear the place out so he can establish a new culture. These policy changes are likely to scare mobile, top-performers off to other companies. This likely clears out a lot of internal dissent and heal digging to make room for new "top performers".

I wouldn't be shocked if we see new "top talent" hires in 3 to 6 months then _actual_ new innovation in 6 to 12 months.
This is France, not EU.

> Just press and hold the buttons on both sides.

This doesn't seem to work on my iphone 7 with ios 15.7.1. If the screen is off, nothing happens. Or if I happen to push the power button slightly before or after the volume key, the screen will turn on and touch id works as usual. If the screen is on, but the phone is locked, nothing happens either. The screen will just turn off at some point. The phone can still be unlocked normally.

What does work is pushing only the power button when the screen is on for a few seconds. This is a dual press (1. turn on screen; 2. start shut down procedure). Or pressing the power button five times, whatever the screen state. But that also activates the emergency call countdown.
Professors historically were prohibited from relationships with students because it creates the appearance (and high likelihood) of favoritism. And it probably pisses parents off a lot because the age difference seems creepy.

"Power" is a relatively new argument. These days the student has the power to utterly destroy the professor. The professor has at best the charismatic "power" equivalent to any number of smooth pickup artists occupying college dorms, of getting a temporary good time.
Seems like being 'big mad' about this is a total misunderstanding of the social norms around social network usage. You can certainly be it, but it's not productive, it impacts your health and changes nothing about the public perception of your issue (ie 'everyone does this all the time, wtf is your problem') or the behavior.

As in "Anything you do where anyone can sense you might be broadcast further than you thought. So either shut-up and shut-in or get used to it."
Those same contracts allow that employees can be let go. It's not really the gotcha people think it is.
I have been considering replacing static dependencies with a simple IoC container for simple services because of that.

that way I can just instance a FakeRepository, inject it into RealService, and then inject it into RealController.

As I understand it, FTX outside the US offered many exotic financial products: e.g. 24/7 traded Tesla stock tokens[1], leverage, etc., which I don't believe US based crypto exchanges are allowed to offer(Coinbase stopped offering leverage in 2020, for example). The acquisition offer yesterday did not include FTX.us[2]

This may mean that the US part of the exchange and the associated customer funds were not lent out, but we shall find out.

I thought it was a good compromise to have them on the side on the first generation iMac, and the G4 could be swiveled to put them on the side as well. Even the G5, though it moved the ports to the back, still had them in a vertical row where your fingers naturally fall if you wrap your hands around the sides of the screen. I would've loved it if they'd kept ports on the side somehow but I'm sure somebody (Jobs? Ive?) thought it would look messy.
So not a private individual, and also the guy at the center of the major crypto collapse right now, whose exchange is imploding? Because they apparently can’t find the cash they need to service customer requests? [https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63577783]

A legal contract is only as good as someone's ability to enforce it. Otherwise the idea that it's some kind of a bond and companies or people should or do just 'the right thing' is not unfortunately reality.

I would not say he has any more or less respect for legal contracts than any other 'typical' company or business person (from my experience).
Stock options in a non public company are only as valuable as the boss decides to make them.

> Most engineer salaries however are substantially higher on the west coast than in the midwest,

In northern CA this holds true and even moreso in Seattle. In southern california (notably because you mention Los Angeles), this is not true. There are high paying jobs in SoCal, but they are much scarcer than the talent pool. While there are more opportunities in SoCal than other parts of the west coast, they are lower paying and worse conditions overall that are closer to midwest counterparts. This view is borne of 40 years of experience in SoCal (and everyone I worked with). Moving to Seattle, I instantly made 30% more AND rent was cheaper.

A former production employee who worked at the company over 10 years ago said he was surprised by his coworkers' attitude toward Musk.

"When he walked by, people would bow down to him," the former employee said. "That was kind of surprising to me."
Everything he is doing is done in quiet corporate ways all the time. Why is his way so celebrity like? It’s almost like he wants people to know. You can’t see that?

The Windows 95 logo always felt unsettling to me. At least part of it is because the main part of the logo curves downwards in a sad/frowning sort of way.

I mean, we could pull the ol' uno reverse and start importing the world's trash instead of exporting our own under the guise of recycling.
Let's not mince words, and talk about his real world lived experience: he treats people like apartheid-era South Africa.
What does this has to do with Twitter stopping remote, which to me is simply a statement of control freak Elon and nothing else.
Just to service the debt that Musk loaded them with as part of the purchase, they're going to have to add a billion a year. They had 5 billion in revenue last year. So that would be three billion a year in subscriptions.

Given that Twitter had about half a billion users hat's six dollars per user in subscriptions to see six dollars worth of surveillance capitalism per year. Does that seem likely?
Who will be held accountable if it turns out to be safer and it is the traditional designs that are actually killing people. Too often we fixate on blocking new tech in the name of safety. If a new design does turn out to be safer (which is almost always the case) why don't we consider the lives that could have been saved?

As a concrete example, how many lives were lost because we took many months to approve the Covid vaccine? Who's accountable for those deaths and for showing it could not have safely been done sooner?
Congrats on launching! I found myself using this more than I expected in the closed beta. I used it most for opinionated prompts (e.g. "the PG essay I gave my parents to help them understand startups was..."), but also had some luck with finding content by its description (e.g. "I really like the intuitive explanation of [college math topic] at ...".
Yeah but that's not the situation. If you have a bitcoin you can sell it to another person for several thousand real US dollars. Even if you hate crypto it has that value to it. I mean re "about 0.00001%" I've bought and sold bitcoin myself and usually for actual money.

True there isn't much intrinsic value to the 0s and 1s making up a bitcoin but there aren't much to the the 0s and 1s making up the US$ or similar in your bank account.
Thanks - this is the most succinct summary of the financial nexus leading to FTX's spiral into insolvency that I've seen, and squares with my own understanding. What we don't know is how the chain of cause and effect played out over a timeline. How did Alameda lose $10bn? How long has FTX been insolvent?
Surely they have been staring down the end of a barrel for a good while?

Eternal september only becomes bad when corporations start hiring positions to advertise on these new platforms. Otherwise, its an idyllic period of sharing information and cultural development, right up until media sinks their teeth into such a large market of consumer's eyeballs and attempts to shift the point of focus from interesting things that are genuinely interesting to profitable things that are often genuinely harmful, because its infinitely easier and far more profitable to engineer something that is harmful to a degree than to account for all the potential harmful externalities (In biology we see this as well; among symbiotic relationships, parasitic interactions are far more likely to evolve than mutually beneficial interactions that could take millions of years of evolutionary change to emerge in a steady state).
Or more likely neither.
