The only reason it can be a tautology is because of the fact that women are the only ones who can get pregnant, it’s an observation that accords with reality.

I’m willing to go along with a lot of things an individual wants, calling them a name of their choosing, not bringing up the obvious incongruities in their appearance etc all out of respect, so much of it is simply breaking gender norms that why wouldn’t I? But I’m not the one breaking the spell here, they are, men can’t get pregnant, that’s not breaking a gender norm, that is an impossibility and I’m not willing to go along with such clear nonsense. If they want to continue the charade then don’t get pregnant. That’s not on me or anyone else.

> A civil society doesn't let its income gaps get large enough that the idea of domestic servants makes sense.

Well then the masses at the bottom of the income gap should start voting for someone other than who they've been voting for, for the last 30 years.

You can't blame the higher-income people for this - they have been trying to change the government by voting for someone else, but the the low-income people you are feeling so sorry for refuse to vote otherwise.

The "civil" society you seek can't happen while the masses are still voting the same corrupt government into power in every single election.

Do you propose revoking their right to vote?

The tool just has to be very well integrated and easy to use. That's why copilot is seeing adoption, because Microsoft owns VSCode and has built a very simple integration of Copilot into VSCode.

That said, I'm not even sure VSCode or Copilot is lucrative, if it wasn't owned by Microsoft, could they both be sustainable businesses?

I have inherited a really nice C++ codebase from 1980s that contains warnings for Year 2038 problem and all sorts of other potential issues, and I can't thank those engineers enough. So many times I've dug into a problem or started implementing a new feature only to discover that someone had already thought of that and left useful pointers in comments.

Whatever version control or note-taking applications they might've used instead, I doubt I could even run or open their files 30+ years later.
Solid advice. Can probably take the engineering team with too if they can get funding on top of whatever cash comp they’re able to walk away with. Partners showed who they are, believe them the first time and don’t throw good effort after spent. Build your own.

Homebrew is just git under the hood, so upgrading an arbitrarily old core and tap state to the latest release may not result in a correct migration.

What part of that observation is about a skill or desire? I mean, I am describing what I observed to happen to people around me. If too many of them are "not skilled enough", then maybe it is not just about individual failures.
In general, Erlang/Elixir solved this challenge in an interesting way: with peer state awareness and channels (functionally equivalent to most micro-services use cases). It is commonly the back-end secret in a lot of low-latency game back-ends.

If you are stuck on a polyglot loving project, than RabbitMQ or Kafka can bolt on most functions with the standard AMQP services. Erlang/Elixir is weird, but is a single kind of weird... which even has built-in profiling tools without external dependencies.

Best of luck, =)

It saves a bit of time, but doesn't seem to make a difference on time to market of features, products, improvements or bug fixes.

In my experience, it's a quality of life improvement, but the things that dictate actual time to market is bottlenecked by things that aren't solved by copilot, such as overall design, decision making, requirements gathering, code structure/architecture, solution ideation, user acceptance, infrastructure setup, etc.

I think if it eventually could help with those other tasks, you'd see time to market gains, and that would start to make it really valuable.
If you'll allow me to go on a tangent here;

The sheer volume of subscription services I've signed up for as the CTO for a startup is mind-boggling. $8 here, $19 there, $49 for something important, $99 for something essential.

Some tools are easily worth it, especially when you see what is charged for other (less valuable) tools.

Gitlab, Confluence, Jira, Asana, 1Password, co-pilot, codepen, sentry, jetbrains, gitlab plugins for jetbrains, Visual Studio, Docker Desktop, Perforce, Slack, etc;etc;etc;etc

Then there's things like Spacelift ($250!)!

The most frustrating thing is that:

1) I need to justify these expenses each for what value they bring, some things are nice to have but bring so little value on paper.

2) You can't just enable tools for some people, there's huge overlap and that overlap gets greater

I get that people need to be paid, but these things very quickly add up. I'm paying about 7-13% of peoples salaries already in these subscriptions, and I feel like a total dick for saying no to people or trying to consolidate these.

"we were 10+ years too early to market, i.e. the tech is not ready yet."

"Our diagnosis is that individual developers do not pay for tools."

"We built the most-advanced AI for helping developers, but it fell short of the 10× improvement required to break through because today’s state of the art for ML on code is not good enough."

Sounds like you know why people didn't pay for it. If it truly did make people as productive as you claim, it would have sold like hot cross buns on a cold day.

Ditto. Eyes are too intense.
Absolutely. In my area of the Midwest, first it was Channel 100 [0]. Then eventually they launched HBO. Shortly after that there came Cinemax and Showtime. These were all premium channels that showed only movies. (And many of them are still around.) It was a little while before they started having normal crap channels with ads, like WGN [1] and TBS [2].

There's this concept in economics that regulations last about as long as human memory-- that we create a law to stabilize a problem we saw, then the memory of why we did that is lost, and someone comes in and says "this has always been fine, lets deregulate it."

I suspect you're still thinking monolithically.

Firstly the driver would not expose a filesystem interface, it might expose something like a block-level interface. The filesystem would be provided by yet another process that operates over that block interface.

Secondly, mmap implies shared address space mappings, but note that the driver process doesn't have to be the owner of those mappings. If the driver restarts then the mmap process reissues any DMA commands to the faulted driver(s) to re-establish those mappings.

So now block devices can be restarted in case of faulty hardware. This might seem like kicking the can down the road a bit, but the point is to partition the statefulness into smaller, more manageable pieces that can be reused.

The filesystem process can preserve its caches and open file descriptors, and it should log mmap commands it issued in case of mmap faults as well. This is pretty robust and not so trivial to do at the kernel level where data structures are all intertwined.
Copilot is really great. Kite is garbage, & they have absolutely zero consumer trust from all the bullshit they did
The olympic broadcaster here did that here too, in the thumbnails of finished events, where you would go if you missed it live. A friend (and I would guess plenty more people) mailed them about it and they actually stopped pretty much immediately.
Edit to say the second paper is interesting, but it seems to me to have a number of flaws.

If I understand this right, GWAS are capturing everything from the genome.

This includes any genetic determination of appearance, food preferences, etc.

Then the sample is only healthy twins from narrow genetic/cultural stock: England/Wales born over two years in the 90s.

This means that in addition to sweeping up genetic factors associated with brain development, you are capturing all visible/inherent-behavioral inputs to a multi-stage developmental process that includes interactions with technology, other people, school systems, etc.

Of course you can explain a majority of the outcome. It won’t replicate though, because it is dependent on that narrow time slice of culture, nutrition, parenting practices, technology, etc.

If this study replicates in Asia, South America, or Africa, with similar genetic components in the PCA, I’ll admit I’m wrong.

Heck if it even replicates in England with twins from the 1960s I’ll admit I’m wrong.
The top speed of a US nuclear-powered carrier is secret, but it is known to be able to do 40 knots easily, which is not slow for a ship.
I think they're spot on to say they were too early. But their analysis of the current state is pretty tainted by their personal situation.

Many people I know find copilot extremely helpful. I think tools like it are about to become extremely important to the productivity of everyday developers. I seriously doubt it will take $100M to develop. The company Kite might have needed $100M to get there, but I bet you a few smart people working evenings in their garages can get there too.

Also the "nobody pays for dev tools" line is pretty obviously a weak excuse. Github is a developer tool that was worth $7B+. The truth was they just didn't provide _enough_ value to get people to pay for it. That's clearly true, and goes along with their idea that they were too early. Not that the problem is impossible.

plus, again, they had zero developer trust because of all the ultra shady stuff they did

Is that really the first person Paul trusted to ever tell him this? There have been sophisticated, intelligent, nuanced crypto bears for about as long as there has been crypto.
He follows this tweet with another saying:

"I didn't write that. He did. Since I don't know any details, I didn't feel I should edit it. And because I don't know any details, it's no use asking me what he means. If you've read the preceding tweet, you know as much as I do."

So this is a rumour about nothing, spread by Paul Graham but blaming a supposed nameless third-party.
While more complex unibody construction is generally better than frame on chassis. There is a reason most cars and SUVs are unibody and those won't change. Thus skateboard isn't a useful idea.

Trucks often are frame on chassis though, so if all you are going after is the truck market then skateboard makes sense. A worthwhile market for sure, but not as big as you think it is

> Who could have imagined that taking something to the extreme isn't compatible with a regular human lifestyle.

the problem is when some extreme style of living becomes a well known trend, then you get lots of people that would otherwise be incompatible with an idea that try to cope with it anyway...

... then you get articles like "I hate Living in My Tiny House"

side : these types of articles rarely hit the real point of "Maybe I shouldn't blindly follow every trend.". Rather than that bit of truth they just list the reasons why the idea is stupid from their perspective and conclude it with why no one should ever try it.
Typeform + Make.com + courier.com. Gluing various services together will take much less time than it would take to find someone to build it for you and it’ll probably have a better outcome — because gluing services together will highlight missing product design decisions that need to be made, which you can make yourself, rather than unintentionally allowing developers to make decisions.

…or if you want a co-founder who can do the building for you, and you do the vision, business etc. I’m available :)
