I rode a Boosted Board for the best part of 1 year on the streets of Brooklyn. I ended up selling it; although I absolutely loved the experience, I knew one day I would rip my face off if I encountered even a small pothole.
Tech Talent Now?
How much tech talent and experience is becoming available to the global marketplace right now and how much good could they do if they used their special set of skills to work together?
I sometimes wonder about whether personalised teaching as a young student is overall good or bad, for students who then move on to a university with very large, impersonal classes (e.g. with more than 1000 students per class).

On the one hand, I think students in small classes can really become more confident and enthusiastic about learning in the long-term. But on the other, a shift to larger classes can be alienating (e.g. feedback from educators is less frequent). This could be mitigated by going to office hours, but there are plenty of minority experiences that stick where teaching assistants and professors are unwelcoming. The change could be less of a shock for students who went to large high schools, as they're more used to large classes.

Perhaps students who have the chance to grow up with individualized learning can opt for universities that have smaller classes, though it's not always possible when large public universities can often be much more affordable. I wonder if there is a way to prepare students from smaller schools with personalized education to do well at much larger educational institutions.

This could 100% be done in software -- it's already adjusting the wheel speed a thousand times a second, it would be trivial to add some haptic oscillation.
Is limited supply reason enough to explain the high market prices or has there also been an increase in demand?
Charities, as they exist today, serve as a void into which corporations and governments can abdicate their respective responsibilities. Continuing to tolerate charities, at least in their current form, is complicity.
I attended a Montessori in the Midwest until third grade. When I entered the California public school system, I was in some ways years ahead of my class (especially in reading comprehension). I coasted through every gifted program they threw at me until high school. Montessori gave me a huge advantage at one of the most critical stages in my development. I wish I could have been there longer.

The obvious conclusion here is that SBF is just a cynical but skilled manipulator. But then why send these DMs at all - surely a skilled manipulator would know better, or could at least present himself in a positive light?

No, because new people wouldn't be informed about behaviour that breaks the site rules nearly as much, and thus continue breaking the site rules which makes it less attractive for the "old guard" to interact and more attractive for people who find posts that break the site rules appealing.

It would still stay decent for a few years, but after a decade or so it'd be unrecognizable IMO.

Of course, that prediction was sourced from out of thin air and unsubstantiated guesswork. Just writing my reasons of why I think so.

I'm going to go straight to "Any terminal or shell which initiates network connections as part of its core execution model, is a huge no from me".

If you can figure out how to coordinate their activities then probably a whole lot but this is a very hard problem. Just knowing how to write code or design web sites is the easy part. The hard part is picking a tractable problem and then getting enough people interested and motivated to work collectively towards a potential solution.

Presumably cryptocurrency protocols are designed for precisely this purpose but I'm not aware of anyone that is using code to coordinate groups of people towards some objective other than accumulating as many points as possible in some imaginary economic game. So if there was a distributed protocol that was designed to align people on developing cancer therapies then that would be a legitimate and useful application of distributed consensus protocols.
Totally agree! Humans are not made to have 20+ conversations going on at the same time, especially while doing actual work. Just stop it, radically, and open Slack only two times daily: in the morning for like 20mins, and in the end of the day for 20mins. Strict Slack timeslot. It doesnt matter how many unread messages there are, just ** it and do ONE thing at a time, and totally forget about everything except your actual work. Try it out ;)
For me, the hardest part of pomodoro is convincing myself that, “yes, you really do need to step away for a minute.”

If the only function of this is that I feel socially pressured to _not_ be on a group chat or programming, then this does the trick.

Having worked a farm for a few summers, my understanding is that we're dealing with the following set of tradeoffs.

1. If you allow weeds, you'll need to till the soil to maintain yields

2. If you till the soil you erode it, damaging the the long term health of your farm and water supplies.

3. If you drop yields globally, people starve (and farmers go out of business)

Since eroding the soil harms biodiversity in a different set of ways, killing weeds seems like the least bad option. Ideally we wouldn't require harsh chemicals to do that but no one has quite figured it out.
I'd be shocked if there wasn't a question asked like this circa 2005 if Facebook is so popular why does Myspace and Friendster have 100x the users?

It pulls itself along the cables rather than using a propeller, yes, but the motor that's doing the pulling is on the ferry rather than on the shore.

To answer GP's question: I don't know, but given that this was a retrofit of an existing diesel-powered ferry I could guess that this was the cheaper way of doing it.
that can't be right (but i have no idea). In the new group, nobody has any desire to at least do a reference check with the previous group? That would be the first thing as a hiring manager i would try to check for, say "this person is a d-bag that the entire group hated, and we were about to pip him/her anyway"? That would be kind of an equivalent of an approval, even if there is no formal approval.

Andrej Karpathy (ex-Tesla head of AI) talked about this recently. "I think Elon is a very efficient warrior in the fight against entropy in organizations". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbxladysbTE

John Carmack, "Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at spacex and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so."
> My experience has been similar at other large companies (MSFT, Google).

I would expect Google to have better engineering discipline than Amazon or Meta.
I'm honestly confused by many of the comments I find in this thread re: bullying.

I went to a pretty rough school (repeated fights, people I went to school with murdering people, etc.) and I basically was never even once threatened with violence. All the bullying is through words and making fun of people, etc.

Is physical bullying of this sort actually that common or more media depiction?

Almost nothing in a shell is discoverable. Are these discoverable? ls, cat, $?, $@, <, >, >>, $(cmd), ${foo}, $((2+2))

If you can take the time to learn these (if not, why are you using a terminal?), then you can learn some shortcuts without them being "discoverable".
Fascinated to read that you thought he came across as contrite. My reading was the opposite - that he was nihilistic, narcissistic and utterly devoid of contrition. Specifically: there seems almost no recognition of his own agency - it’s all just bad stuff that happened to him.
I have considered that the political party most aligned with my beliefs has made mistakes which have exacerbated the issues in some cases. However, I believe the other party would make things worse in important ways.

As far as my personal politics, no, the things I believe in do not drive us towards this dystopia. I believe in urbanism (including public transit, cycling and other micromobility, higher density, and other related policies), less power in the hands of local police and district attorneys in favor of public safety being managed at a higher level like the state level (including things like putting traffic enforcement in the purview of an unarmed and mostly automated traffic enforcement service), better social safety nets in the form of public health care and better employment protection and welfare benefits, and a few other things.

Many of these problems derive from the structure of our political system. For instance, urbanism is largely impossible in much of the US due to the structure of who determines land use policies, which is largely individual municipalities, where voters are voting in their own self interest (which tends towards keeping their own property values high). Similarly for the public safety issues I mentioned, much of the abuse we see around the country is due to the people with the most power in this space being largely unaccountable to anyone. These things have nothing to do with party, and everything to do with structure.
Starship has a decent built in scale with each of the welded ring sections being around human heigth... and then you see how many are stacked.
Like most things in life if you are patient in learning it and respect the limits it is entirely safe.

Hey, just like C programming! :)

On a slightly more serious note, the point seems to be that people are not, and that can get them killed which is bad. If the thing is that the pushback notification is too easy to ignore/fail to notice, then that sounds fixable.

There’s a great episode of the Australian TV series You Can’t Ask That which interviews a group of OCD sufferers about their lived experience. It really opened my eyes to just how appallingly cavalier it is to refer to one’s minor neuroses as “OCD”. An excerpt from the show: https://youtu.be/tkrFgKW5LvY (Australians can stream it on iView)
It's gotten far, FAR worse since Guido stopped having as much guidance. The increase in mandatory updates at regular intervals is a recipe for disaster in most cases, as it is in python.

Also, to pile on top of the stdlib problems - it's probably clear to most everyone at this point - but NVIDIA and Google (tensorflow) are really some of the biggest reasons python sucks in this way.
They're the ones that cause most of the breakage. Starting with Nvidia making breaking changes, which then propagates to tensorflow et al, and then to enormous number of packages that depend on these fundamental packages.

So to summarize, it's mostly Nvidia's fault.

That's not clearing snow lazily, it's avoiding snow with a lot of effort, but you're probably right that your suggestion could be less total effort than the method in the article, after a certain number of years.
It seems possible that might work, although without image support at least 50% of my use-case is gone:

> Clipboard

> "Share the clipboard between devices."

> With this, you can simply copy text from your computer and it will be immediately available to paste on your phone, and vice-versa. This does not work with images though.

Also I'm hesitant to even try it. I use PopOS and I've never managed to get a plugin to work properly, and the crazy "you need to install a browser plugin that can read all your data to use plugins" puts me off a lot.
Why you need a few of them? GPU mining is completely dead.

Putting down a tarp to catch the snow and then pulling it away would only work with a very small amount of snow. Snow is HEAVY. If it was that small it would be almost just as easy to use a wide snow-pusher-style shovel to move it.

The other problem is that you have to place the tarp before the snow falls, which requires a lot of forethought with work and sleep making it unable to be done for large portions of the day.

Going to napkin math this.

Each gallon of water weighs 8lbs.

1 cubic foot is about 7 gallons.

That's 56lbs. That's going to get real heavy real quick. Especially for an area where shovelling would take a while. Which is when you'd want something like this.

I'm not sure what you mean, but you don't need root to use user namespaces (sandboxing) on any remotely recent Linux kernel.

The same product my employer just rolled out for managing this on Windows has a native Linux version. I assume it must have competitors.

> WSL lets the Windows people use Windows and the Linux people use Linux

No it does not. It lets the Windows people use Windows and the Linux people still have to use Windows, and a fucked up Linux VM that can't access their hardware, has to contend with Windows broken-ass networking stack, operates extemely slowly on files that are stored where the corporation wants people to store source code (i.e., on the Windows side), etc.

> WSL works because the company can control the hypervisor host strictly, and let the guest VM be more lax.

Why? Don't all of the material issues w/r/t endpoint management (data exfiltration, update management, anti-virus, idk) recur inside the VM anyway?
Every big enough system has a few parts that would fit OOP, and a few parts that would fit FP. If your language supports those, then great, use those for them.

The overwhelming majority of problems do not fit OO, and using OOP on them makes a mess. Similarly, FP.
That's cool, yeah, precise targeting should remove the need for highly toxic herbicide.
I suspect there's a simpler takeaway than what most comments are suggesting:
Don't spend substantial amounts of money (based on nominally promised funding) before the checks have cleared.
I did attend this type of school. It was only for kindergarten, but I have interesting memories of it, and feel like it had a strong influence on the rest of my education and life thereafter.
The man is clearly delusional if he thinks the output he gets from someone in hours 60-80 is worth having at all. Twitter is a working, finished application - not some MVP being cobbled together in time for a funding round. Firing people as a cost-saving measure I can get on board with, but he is seemingly firing the wrong people then getting the remainder to do nugatory work and burn themselves out in the process.

Are we sure this isn't just some false-flag operation where he torches $45B in a tax write-off and destroys the cesspit of common internet discourse in one self-immolating move?

I don't think you get the point of Softbank or even Blackrock.

When you have $10 Trillion in assets like Blackrock, you _DON'T_ sweat a $300 million investment or even a $2 billion investment here or there. It literally doesn't matter. Its not even a rounding error to you, your company, or your investors.

Its barely worth Blackrock's time to seriously look at things like this. That's why we get $Billion sized London Whale mistakes or whatever, because they have so much money to manage the only reasonable way to do it is to hand billions of (management) dollars to executives and give those executives broad leeway to do whatever they want.

-------

This kind of mistake is a "Lol, Executive #455 made an error", and that executive is going to be in the hotseat as other executives make fun of him for his FTX mistake at a place like Blackrock.

I don't understand where you get this idea that VC companies tightly vet their choices. If anything, the bigger the VC firm, the less they vet something at the $million, or even $billion levels.

I've heard of warp but knew nothing about it. I thought you were responding to the post, so I was honestly stunned to realize this comment is about warp itself. That's when I noticed the "pricing" link at the top, and... they want companies to pay per month for a terminal emulator..? They must, because they don't put any actual pricing on that page. That, to me, means rent-seeking. For a terminal emulator.

I am sure it's a passionate criticism, but. Maybe not such an appropriate way to word whatever it is you're trying to describe here.

I use Geany most of all and integrated it with various global shortcuts, like c-sup-y for todaY's journal entry. Then I have global tools integrated with it, like FSearch as a file interface. I use the snippets features of Geany heavily in notetaking. Schedule/timer services create my journal files each day.

Also use Cudatext, Nano, NeoVim, Mousepad, and others depending.

On Android I use QuickEdit+ to toss docs back and forth with Geany via the cloud.
We put our 2 oldest kids in Montessori.

The oldest one loved it and thrived in Montessori and stayed in it until we started a Charter school to avoid the local Middle School.

The second one HATED Montessori and we had to move him out to the local elementary school.

In the end it came down to personality. The second kid had a personality that just wouldn't work in a Montessori environment. He would do what he wanted to when he wanted to and would refuse to be redirected in any way, shape or form. Same school, mostly the same teachers, but totally opposite outcomes.
I work closely with the CR-time coverage/enforcement tool. The tool expects 70% new line coverage. The number was chosen arbitrarily, but individual teams/managers can choose to avoid the rule or set a different threshold.

It's not ridiculous to expect some, *configurable*, amount of test coverage for newly generated code, is it?
They're not trying to get better. It's a religion (cult?).
Well you see, he wants to take those $8B and put them in a box, then start printing box-tokens that he can lend to his trading arm, then he can build a market for those box tokens giving them intrinsic value, while he siphons the 8B$ off to ... wait, how he's going to make his users whole? Well you see he just needs to raise 16B$ and put them in a box...
