I think I find the examples they give actually quite worrying in an age where we are dealing with hard problems around moderation.

"10 ways async communication is more productive" - alright, so you have an AI answering a leading question. Are you going to take the output as given and publish it as-is or spend time verifying and tweaking it? If you do the latter, how much productivity have you gained from rewriting a generated post compared to writing your own draft?

For automatic summarising and translating, okay cool, that really could be handy but this is almost commodity tech at this point.

I don't like my negative, pessimistic response here but I don't need tools that make it easier to write or create, I need them to keep things organised and up to date as you've mentioned. I need a better search that can help me find something that already exists, or actually point me to that article if I'm writing something that starts to look like a duplicate.

Can the AI say "this 'setting up the environment' post looks really similar to [some other setting up the environment post] which was written 6 months ago; is that what you're looking for/do you want to edit that?"
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time... long time.
There are multiple possible underlying causes and people are usually talking about one of them.

Inflation is usually associated with too much demand (people attempting to buy more), and when that happens the economy is usually pretty good. A recession can happen when the central bank tries hard to fight it.

In other cases it's caused by a collapse in supply, which can happen when things are going badly.
Similar experience here, it was a series of changes, none of which made my experience better and a lot of dodgy privacy affecting TOS updates that caused me to can my paid account.

They never really tried to re-engage me either, and have just continued on since then with a bare bones series of notes while I keep the critical stuff elsewhere.

Shame evernote was the first killer 'cloud native' app for me, the thing I couldn't do without once I had it.
> Software projects have very short shelf lives. The moment a commit lands on main the software is spoiling; new versions of runtimes and compilers are shipped, dependencies cut new releases with bug fixes and exciting new features, and connected APIs are deprecated.

Does this ring true for anyone? This sounds like hell. I am so glad to be in a field that minimizes third party dependencies.

The C code I write today would run the same 20 years ago and will run the same 20 years from now.
I did not say it is bad. I just wanted to point out that N^2 communications are a big hit (of course we know them for long time) and people under-estimate the co-ordination effort and the fact that already running systems impose constraints that are not true for green-field efforts.

I think I am regurgitating mythical man-month here and will shut up.
It strikes me as remarkable that, in a pandemic which killed several hundred airliners worth of Americans, a lot of fuss was made about mask-related impositions, while TSA-related impositions that save a number of lives that's close to zero have become entirely normal. All War On Terror and no War On Viruses.
Is disabling the 2fa miceoservice without removing existing 2fa from accounts better for user experience?

Users normally like to log into services they use, but I may be wrong.
I like to call this "AI (or ML) as a blunt instrument". You just plug in the model, map inputs to outputs in the most straightforward way.

In some cases that can work, but generally you want to massage the inputs and outputs a lot more than that.
Some people have talked about SLA. We have a Project MJP at work (https://www.3dsystems.com/3d-printers/plastic). It uses UV cured resins for its printing, it also prints in wax for the support structures, so you can just melt them away with an oil bath afterwards.

The quality of the results is excellent - you can print some really fine detailed parts. The downside is cost (print and the materials) and the fact that the materials involved are pretty nasty - they come with some major warnings about causing infertility and cancer just for coming into contact.
Writing goes first into your local storage, then gets send to your remote storage, rather than vice versa. Same with searching, search local storage rather than remote one. Everything would load faster, latency would be less, could use it offline and so on.

On the other hand, Notion wouldn't have full control anymore, usage stats might be hard to get when some users are offline, and so on, so unlikely Notion would do such a thing. Certainly their investors wouldn't like it either.
You know how when your local hospital gets bought out by a corp, and then everything starts to feel rushed and commoditized? AngelList already had an air of desperation, and this makes it feel like one last bloodthirsty hoorah to really scrape the last bit out of the jug before binning it.

Also, why is the text only displaying after I scroll past it? Just let me see the content.
Fair point but can't that be worked around through having parents teach their kids to value people from all walks of life? True the lack of exposure does play a factor but I would wager it falls heavily on what parents hand down to their children and how they perceive the world.
Yeah, I thought wsl 1 was very cool.

> Given the worlds ability to produce JIT it feels implausible that supply can’t meet demand if inflation were just left alone.

I mostly agree. We see a clear supply problem right now. China's covid lockdowns mean any new iPhone Pro ordered today will not be here until next year.
You are failing to engage with the content here.

Work itself is behaving like a complex system with bottlenecks and constraints and all that. The deadlines are being shown to expand to the time allotted, in a similar fashion to how opening a new lane on a highway often does not improve traffic and might even make it worse.

In complex systems, the “greedy algorithm” (gradient descent) fails. For example, you might see some welders playing cards, and yell at them to go be doing work, (greedy algorithm: any inefficiency you see, correct it immediately) but this might cause huge delays for your customers rather than making things faster. How? Well it comes down to why were they playing cards. If it truly had to do with them being lazy, that's one thing. The Union rep might even back you up and yell at them for you. But they might also be implementing a low-latency subunit. They don't have work to do right now and it's important that the moment they have work to do, they can start it in an instant. You send them all to look productive God knows where, then when work comes in folks have to hunt them down and get them back here. Or, the card playing could implement a backpressure mechanism, “yeah we know the QC folks who will handle these are still pretty swamped with the backlog...”

So if you give me a linear circuit comprised of resistors and capacitors and inductors, and you propose increasing the voltage on the lines that feed it, I know that other voltages seen across the circuit will scale proportionately—this is your “20% more.” and same with “if I reduce this resistor's resistance, more current will flow over there” etc. But once you throw a diode or transistor in there, all bets are off! “No, when you tweak this the diode goes from being forward biased to being reverse biased and NO current flows over there.”

So it matters terribly much whether work is a simple linear system or a complex of feedback loops.
This is why you build up a healthy emergency reserve. If I were a Twitter employee, I'd take the severance instantly. If it pays off, great. If it doesn't, then I'm financially comfortable enough that I can leave a rudderless organization and I take my services elsehwere.

The quote the author can't find the source for is a statement of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect
You did argue for everything is the same. Basically by "same" I mean everything is "equally good" depending on context. The whole hammers are for hammering and screwdrivers are for screwing thing... I explicitly said your argument was that everything was a tool in a toolbox and you exactly replicated what I said.

My point is: something can be truly bad and something can be truly good EVEN when considering all possible contexts.

You can't prove definitively whether this is the case for FP or OOP or any programming style for that matter. You can't know whether someones "side" is a cargo cult or not when there's no theoretical way for measuring this.

The cultish following may even be correct in the same way I cargo cult my belief that the world is ROUND and not flat.

That list seems to include buyouts, though, i.e. cases in which the FDIC didn't actually have to directly disburse funds.

In Europe, there were two bank failures that I know of in the last few years that required tapping into the regional FDIC equivalents. In at least one of them, quite a few depositors actually lost money (due to having savings in excess of the insured maximum).

No conspiracy, hydrogen is slowly getting acceptance because people can't charge their BEVs at home (50% of people in EU lives in apartments) and does not want to wait hours in a queue for public DC chargers.

Simply hydrogen will more expensive, but convenient. And people LOVES to pay for convenience. Just look at Apple.
I use Apple Notes because I realized that, for my needs, all the structure and organization that so many other note taking apps/services provide really just make things more complicated and isn't beneficial. Notes is simple, has one level of folders, and supports labeling. I'll almost never look at 95% of my notes again, but in case I do, I can just search by keyword and usually I'll find it.

My one gripe with Notes is that the search function really isn't all that great. Maybe I need to force it to reindex or something. I've found many cases where it doesn't find a note by a word that I know it contains. I really don't get why it seems that nearly all search functions are terrible in any given app. It would be nice if Apple improved the search for Notes, and it shouldn't be that hard to do given that it's just using SQLite under the hood.
When I decided to be atheist I clearly reasoned that if I had to believe in somebody without any evidence I'd rather believe in myself.

If the greatest story ever told and 2000+ years of compounding marketing and outreach had no chance of getting god in my brain and heart, I'll let you figure what are the odds for Musk self-promoting himself via bullying and cheap outreach.

> let people's accomplishments speak for themselves

Musk and all the other 2500 billionaires in the world have as much agency over their so called accomplishments as lottery winners.

When I am in SV/SF I have lots of fun acting and pretending that I am a believer brainwashed too. Musk fans especially throw the most bizzarre parties, only second to crypto-guys. Maybe they hope that the cult leader would show up. I got a private jet ride in a G3 because I "believe in Elon" whatever the fuck that means lol.
The petit bourgeois are indeed included in the investor class in this hypothetical. Bailouts of defined-benefit pension plans would probably only be necessary if the high-interest regime continues for many years. The fact is that real wages have declined substantially YoY [1] for the working class due to price increases and this is a typical impact of a high-inflation environment. Protecting homeowners by bleeding the people who still have adult roommates is morally decrepit.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Looks angry or smirky to me, depending on which opening you consider the "mouth".
Yeah, I appreciate this as well. I feel a strong idealist pull toward Linux, but pragmatism always pulls me back to MacOS.
Not the GP, but I routinely have use-cases where I switch back and forth between (say) two windows of one app and one window of another app. That, is, for a given task I have a “working set” consisting of windows of different apps, involving more than one same-app window for at least one of the apps. It would be annoying to have to switch between different keyboard shortcuts, instead of just getting LRU behavior within that “working set” of windows with a single keyboard shortcut. Which app the currently active window belongs to shouldn’t matter for switching back to the previously active window (or the second orevious one, etc.).
So you only get to sit with your loved ones if you have enough money? That's not a world I want to have any part in.
God I hate this essay. Every time the economy goes south people repost it. I've had ceos send it to me in the past. If you are running mega corp then sure. This all very well may be true. But for just about anyone else its insane to not plan for bad years.

Save in the good years and build a war chest so instead of having 3 incredible years where you're going to Cabo for corporate retreats and you all get 250% bonuses and then 1 year where you layoff 15% of your staff...

Just have 4 fine years where you are profitable.
Computer "languages" are a metaphor, they aren't languages in a linguistic sense, they aren't even writing systems per se. They are more closely related to things like musical notation or circuit diagrams. You can't communicate arbitrary information with them without at least partially embedding another language.

What’s the alternative? People enjoy reading predictions because it helps inform their opinion on a topic. An opinion on a topic as important as inflation is quite consequential. People use such opinions to decide whether or not to buy a house, change jobs, etc. If we stop reading the opinion of others, how can we build our own opinion on a topic?
Some programming languages have grammars that can't be represented in BNF.

But do you really want to wait for a real security issue to emerge? Seems like keeping things updated is a simple, smart form of insurance.
No, they do not. They only verify BTC and ETH, no other holdings, and they don't audit liabilities at all, meaning that they could be using your BTC as collateral for loans. Also, the audit they did last December was the second in 8 years and AKAIK they haven't done another since. Kraken is in no way "audited".
I'm having a good time doing Data-Oriented Programming (which is applying Clojure-style programming to other languages, in my case Python).

IMO, chaining functions together rather than mutating objects and variables seem to be the most Pareto efficent takeaway from FP (at least in the Scheme/Clojure style, haven't tried F#/OcaML or Haskell). And HOP, though Python has native support for map and reduce and filter in the last few years, so great enough.

And to be honest when I try to do something complicated in Clojure I end up blowing the stack anyway. Recursion is a bit too hard to grasp for non-programmers like me.
As someone that takes longer to do things than most due to ADHD issues, here's what I did:

I knew generally how long something should take. So, I would track my hours for sure, but I would reduce the final hours to be roughly what it should have been.

Everyone was happy this way.

Discounting your hourly rate and taking too long looks really bad. Keeping the rate high and discounting your hours looks normal to great.
I doubt all, what, 20 people photographed protesting here worked on or at the gigafactory.
What did your company end up using instead of Notion?
Not putting massive 21" wheels on everything saves a lot of weight too, while making it possible to carry the spare. The giant wheels are easier to brake, easier to get a flat tire on, cost more to replace. The tires cost more to replace as well. They are really terrible in many many ways and are driven by looks more than anything else.

The massive wheels on modern cars are so big and heavy the suspension designs have had to be redone to handle them.. they add lots of unsprung weight, which makes everything harder.

Giant wheels for performance is mostly marketing. So much so that race cars held onto smaller wheels for a very long time. F1 only recently changed to big giant wheels, and the engineering teams were not happy about it, the change was marketing driven to make the F1 cars look more like street cars.
The US economic leaders see what they did to so many countries around the world, and their greatest fear is bad karma.
So true. Same with languages IMO. Not naming any names :-)
I wouldn’t use those phrases at all to convey those ideas. Instead of:

“In such kind of language discussions, I often see that in the USA vs Germany, there seems to be a quite different understanding of fluency in the native languages”

I might write:

“When discussing language fluency, I often see that there is a significantly different perspective between Americans and Germans”.

Instead of “In the USA, you are considered to be a fluent (English) speaker when you can talk somewhat freely with the fellow countrymen”

I might write: “In the USA, you are considered to be a fluent English speaker when you can speak comfortably with other Americans”.

There, of course, many different ways to write those sentences. I’m not saying my examples are the best options, or that yours are wrong in the sense of being technically incorrect or incomprehensible. What I am saying is your constructions stick out to me as something a non-native speaker would say or write, and that if I see much of that in written (or spoken) conversation, I do not consider the writer/speaker to be fluent in English. My bar for fluency may be higher than average (apparently even linguists can’t agree on a definition,) but it certainly is not common in the US to consider someone fluent in English based on the sort of limited proficiency that would allow someone to “talk somewhat freely” in English.
If you're "departing from an airport in the UK on any airline" then I'm pretty sure the legal minimum compensation is more than that:

It sounds a bit confusing as to whether you were cancelled or delayed, or accepted an offer etc. but I wouldn't accept $24...
You're still bound by meat-space and the rules of the universe. If someone gets in your house and beats you with a $5 wrench until you give him your seed phrase, you're still relying on the police to catch the thief, ledger or not.

However, you're also not bound by arbitrary rules by arbitrary people that may or may not hold their end of the deal. YOU own your Bitcoin, and until YOU send it to someone it's YOURS. On the other hand, money in the bank is "yours", but they can freeze your money anytime for whatever reason, or change the terms because whatever.

"It doesn't happen", sure. Until it does. And fyi "then it means you deserved it" is an excuse that reeks of first-world privilege.

Even if Bitcoin won't become the world currency, the concept of "ownership" can be useful elsewhere, especially games. Lots of games have "gems" or whatever currency the game uses. But you don't "own" these "gems", they're just a number on a database that you paid the company for. Not unlike Bitcoin, yes, but you have the added bonus of being able to exchange them freely. It's a net upgrade. The same applies to skins: you pay Epic Games for a Fortnite skin but... it's stuck there. You cannot trade it because you don't "own" it. With NFTs you do. I'd spend $10 on a skin if they gave me an NFT that I could eventually sell instead of a database entry. Out of the two options, the Postgres database is more of a scam if you think about it.
Leaving inflation alone disproportionally affects the people who don't have a lot to begin with. 10% inflation is much more palatable when that's your coffee budget than when it's your rent.
Evernote came preinstalled
On my second android phone, I think a Galaxy Note 2.
It could not be removed and demanded to be allowed to update itself constantly.

I’ll never know whether it was any good, because it annoyed me from the word go.

If you’re a cool, tech-crowd oriented tool, for god’s sake don’t let Samsung install you as a ‘system’ app…
Everything psychological has a cultural bias, that doesn't make it less real.

With who I am, from my culture and upbringing, it was near impossible to be happy without a home. I tried for 15 years without success. I grew up reading Walden and love building and improving things. I was never going to be happy in a rental without substantially changing my personality, and couldn't do so when I tried
great point. I didn't see a mechanism for filtering out stale projects - if that is a GH concept inside CodeSearch.

Could you provide context on why SQLite would replace MLflow? From the standpoint of model tracking (record and query experiments), projects (package code for reproducibility on any platform), deploy models in multiple environments, registry for storing and managing models, and now recipes (to simplify model creation and deployment), MLflow helps with the MLOps life cycle.
Imagine if Elon had instead come in and not immediately idled half the company. But instead wrote an inspiring message about Twitter was popular and pretty good but not living up to its full potential. Spend about 2-3 months learning all the details of the internal systems. Meet daily with the heads of every area and listen to what they're saying. Then, after about 3 or 4 months, come up with a plan that clearly indicates he expects more effort from the employee base, and anybody who doesn't want to sign up for that is free to leave. Then make a modest set of reasonable changes, do some testing on the new features, and slowly improve the product.

The opportunity was there to do this, but Elon is just a chaos ninja and is very big into unforced errors that negatively affect his own success.
It’s not a conspiracy if it’s business as usual. The people in charge just hire folks that share their views, fire those that go off message, and provide editorial guidance to those who are receptive. It’s not even a criticism specific to media. Most large organizations work this way to some degree.
If you're a cash buyer and considering upgrading, it might be your chance soon. It's hard to make this work perfectly within life circumstances of course, but the ideal timing is to upgrade when the sticker price drops, and downgrade when it's high. Mortgage buyers are usually doing the opposite, since they're the reason the prices are moving in whichever direction in the first place.

We've still got a way to go to shave off the bloat of the past several years (my home value has gone up 50% since I bought it 4 years ago), but I planned on giving the market a good look in a year or so. A casual glance at Zillow in my area already shows several times the listings count from this time last year. So, it's definitely happening right now.
> Maybe just let inflation happen for a while

There is no "just a while". Once it starts it's hard to stop. They're trying to save the dollar (and everything with a dependency on it).
Of course you can, and that just strengthens my point. :)
