> PMs are essenial for B2C. You need to abstract a huge mass of end-users into discrete pain points and offer solutions.

Maybe at some level, but I've also seen talented UX and front end/UI engineers idling away being fingers for PMs who just focus their days spoon feeding tasks to teams without involving them in solutions. I left a supposed startup earlier this year due to this.
When I talk about class I am talking about income, not moral conduct. That should be obvious from the context. Cops push the races out of high/medium income neighborhoods because that is where the cops live.

And street races are unquestionably dangerous.
The thing about authoritarian regimes, is that they are brittle. They show absolutely no signs of bending, right up until the point that they break. Of course, most of the time, they don't break at all. They withstand the stress, without bending at all, and eventually the stress goes away.

The tricky thing is, a brittle regime that is about to break, looks (from the outside, at least) exactly like one that is not going to break. You can rationalize after the fact why this uprising succeeded, and that other one failed to change anything, but I'm not sure that is was the case that the one was guaranteed to succeed and the other fail. Is China about to see a regime break? Or just hold out, refuse to change, and prevail unchanged? I think, it is not possible to tell from the outside, and maybe not even from the inside.

All of which applies to Iran as well, btw.
I have an account but haven't used it. MS for Startups denied my application for this very reason lol.
Thanks. This article confirms what I have long suspected of my mother-in-law. I knew she was a narcissist, but I didn’t associate the full-blown tantrums directed mostly at my partner as part of the disorder.

It's the same pseudo-scientific garbage that explains how bullies are vulnerable and that's why they bully.

No, you idiots, bullies, narcissists, and other pricks do what they do because it gives them advantage in life. Period. They choose their wealth, health and life over the wealth, health and life of other people.
He hasn’t shown you his hand.

The obvious stuff:

* adding features people want but are denied by ESG transnationals (privacy, e2e encryption, removing politically motivated censorship) - this is huge and a guaranteed win short term.

Stuff that will happen if the google/Apple make the wrong moves, which they likely will:

* programmable mobile phone with crypto chip and starlink carrier for recurring revenue when/if google and Apple ban Twitter app from their walled gardens

* adding crypto/stable coin based “wallet” to Twitter which cross-sells the mobile phone with crypto chip

Well, the base say superhero might be created by human, just AI used to animate it and generate thousands of frames needed to make a movie out of it.
If anything, Circle would be it.

CppFront is just like Carbon and Val, with a completly different syntax, translating to C++ is just an implementation detail, he just markets in a different way given his position at ISO, most likely not to raise too many waves.

A lot of fantastical claims made in this article with little citation.

I definitely don’t think the author is wrong here. It is very likely AI animation tools will have a huge impact on the industry.

I have friends who work in animation and illustration professionally. Based off their predictions, the truth is likely far more mundane. These AI models will likely just become tools that automate or simplify existing animation workflows for larger projects. This would definitely result in less labor needed for any given project.

For smaller projects. You might see folks use AI for the entire thing

> “the AI art movement is already causing a sizeable reduction in artist commissions, and that effect will soon trickle down into B2B and wider world.”

This line specifically made me lose confidence in the author’s ability to predict the future. Cursory Google searches return nothing. This is also a very difficult thing to measure at a population level. In my friend group of illustrators (which is a very small sample of the population) all of them have used TikTok and seen their commissions drastically increase in the last few months. That doesn’t mean ALL artists are making more money though. Neither does a few mediocre artists losing commissions due to AI either.
Wow, thanks for sharing that.
But what are the moving dots in the animation?

I would guess the moving dots are fixed GPS receivers, or more precisely the intersections of lines between fixed GPS receivers and moving GPS satellites with a sphere around Earth representing the ionosphere. If you look at the shape of the moving clusters, some look like Japan.
Yeah, it's pretty much an implementation detail - the thing running your containers likely exposes knobs like 'memory limit' and 'cpu limit' and under the hood it takes care of manipulating the files within the mounted cgroup filesystem.

You'll be pleased that at least with cgroups v2 there's only a single /sys/fs/cgroup instead of half a dozen filesystems mounted underneath that path. :)
I can do the same with Eiffel, so is Eiffel C++'s future?
You could just skip waiting for or looking for indicators and skip straight to Mahayana Buddhism.

Maybe try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonglen

Interestingly, though, the way you talked about inducing collapse reminds me of a Vajrayana Buddhism guru type thing where the guru sometimes punches you in the self-centered weak spot in the context of practices that help you realize self-clinging as the ultimate source of the pain.
If a name really isn’t such a big deal, then it shouldn’t be a big deal to change it to something else that wasn’t already taken. If there’s resistance to that idea, then maybe names are a big deal after all.

For a language dev, the name of the language is all you really own about it. These days, developers expect their languages and tools to be free, and of course open source and permissively licensed. The name and logo of the language is really the only IP most PL devs actually fully control, and costs actual money and time to maintain (registering and defending trademarks, domains, etc.)

To just step on names like Google has repeatedly done shows a crass disregard for what independent language devs go through.
That's one of most impressive examples of essentially "passive radar" I"ve seen!
This falls into the same category as the other efforts to replace human crafts with AI: Too much uncanny valley.

Generated text looks like the person crafting it is having a constant stream of micro-strokes while writing in their third language.

Deep Fakes have a proportion problem. Not to mention little things like skin tone and lighting.

Images look like one of those “one person draws one part, and hands it off blind to someone else” activities.

And animation looks like the characters on screen are also having micro-strokes.

“It will get better,” but will it? Or will we just continue to live in the valley with a ceiling of “it’s good enough”? Getting better will be a huge cost, after all.
Specifying some minimum property size should cover most cases, as well as specifying land uses that are or are not covered by the requirement for public access.

If you own a large parcel of land but are actively farming it, I think disallowing public access is reasonable. If you own hundreds of acres of wilderness, I think public access to traverse the wild areas of your property is perfectly reasonable, even light camping with reasonable restrictions. Specific issues can be prosecuted individually, instead of a blanket ban on all public access.
Hanna-Barbera's style was specifically built to separate heads and bodies for animation re-use. In addition to the infinite scrolling backgrounds. This let them crack the nut on TV animation before Disney.

Kricfalusi (of Ren and Stumpy fame) famously bad-mouthed Tartskovsky's style as lazy and cheap looking. But while it took an army ages to make one season of Ren & Stumpy, Cartoon Network got dozens of episodes of three shows.

... And ultimately, the story, characters, and writing can matter more than the art.
Humans are still involved its just that they are generating art faster. If more people can create art the human creativity will only increase not decrease.

It’s like programming, easier it is too program the more creative programs become.

Also in my opinion creativity is just combination on two ideas together. These AI tools allow you to combine different concepts together and see how does it looks.
Sounds of the Sid
one trick I used to have is to check your value regularly. try and fail and know where you sit. it avoids the overinflated aspect. reality check to put it simply.

another thing is to relate to others in very simple context: a charity, doing simple stuff for others, it helps reconnecting with people without an egotistic ladder in mind

ps: I don't know i'm NPD or a competitor, but I often need perfectionist context and comparisons. I have trouble not being able to rank myself on a ladder.
So, maybe there's a "narcissism spectrum disorder" ?

But I think that might be over-medicalizing things.

Segmentation in CPU is pretty common as there's huge opportunity for caching. It's possible to push segmentation into GPU as an optimization but it might not be worth it if the GPU is busy enough with downstream operations. Even then you still cache the results.

I would be surprised if they don't have a dynamic pipeline that can be optimized at runtime.
No. This is the ego desperately trying not to die.
Unsure when climate was constant.
You're probably right - actually medically diagnosed narcissistic personality disorder is likely very rare diagnosis... Because the people who have that would deign to admit they have a problem. "Its the world that has a problem and they're right."

And if reading https://old.reddit.com/r/raisedbynarcissists/ is any signifier, yeah it's likely rampant. It gets bad there quickly and stays bad.

Even my own mother is one such narcissist. She's tried to bait us siblings against each other. Fortunately, we'll just get on a call or zoom and actually talk. As of now, all siblings have blocked her. Thankfully, we (siblings) all met up for thangsiving, which was awesome. Mommy dearest can go tell herself how great she was, by herself.
I think there's a bit more inertia with animation here than the author realizes. Only the one-shot techniques currently allow you to animate a custom character and only within the confines of human faces and other things for which we have a lot of data.

For the vast majority of animation that isn't just humanoids talking, or bodies moving, rigged cg animation is going to be better.

In fact, try comparing the control you get from rigged CG animation versus blindly groping through latent space for "just the right character with just the right animation"

I think in 5 years AI will dominate the meme generation "industry", but animation will still be dominated by good ol fashion rigged CGI.

The rigging and animation tools are what will be an order of magnitude better + faster, particularly facial and humanoid body stuff.
I remember when AI was going to replace radiologists.

There's a big gap between "Wow, this is really good for being made by a computer" and "Wow, this is consistently better than human experts".
It's already happening. Auto-tweening has basically displaced hand animation for most TV cartoons.
Run it through a pretty printer?

Try for no warnings with your static code analyzer / linter / compiler?

Make tests for it

Update or make the readme.md
Ah yes, in less than 5 years AI will completely dominate the fields of animation, art, programming, moviemaking, car driving, healthcare, etc, the sensationalist treadmill never stops.
Yes. But what if everyone carries a smartphone round in their pockets that recorded their every move and sound and conversation?

What if celebrities were on the TV saying how much having a phone provide therapy chnaged their lives? We can easily imagine a fringe of people doing this - quantified living etc? What happens when those people start to have real world advantages? Are healthier wealthier?

What happens when a company of well adjusted people whose conversations are mapped is able to react faster? Extract meaningful knowledge graphs from who knows what? What about a country - will their army be more efficient ? will having a knowledge economy be all about meta data management ?

What happens at the tipping point ? When does it become suspicious that you are not medically recording your life? When does refusing to allow these recordings make a defence against accusations harder?

None of this is great, or fair, or even better.

But these are feasible future options - and something is going to chnage - this is all possible with tech - and we shall have to deal with it?
Made a PR with the fixes, Rust is now 3 times faster than tinygo, and the wasm is almost 3 times smaller (wasm+js is twice as small) as expected.

Pretty sure I lost my last startup due to my former co-founder having NPD. How did I cope? I had to walk away and lose everything I had at that time, deal with huge legal bills, and then watch him twiddle his thumbs while the startup folded. It also put an intense pressure on my marriage which ultimately also broke down.

Was a dreadful experience that I would never wish on anyone else and I am pretty certain I'll never trust anyone to co-found another startup with in the future.

Edit to add: advice for anyone in business with someone they suspect of NPD: tidy everything up, get legal advice, get away as quietly as possible, don't look back.
I think that when somebody (almost anybody) today blows up out of proportion of the cause it is a "narcissistic collapse". That is, somebody flips from "I'm a good person" to "I'm a bad person" and to use a technical term, they lose their shit.

That is, it's a problem in my mind that "Narcissists" are othered as a category whereas narcissism (self-love) is a natural and essential part of the psyche the same way your heart is a part of your body. Everybody has it. You have to engage with (cathect) your own self image to remember to do self-care such as brushing your teeth, planning for retirement, etc. Many things can go wrong with your narcissism the same way that many things can go wrong with your heart (heart attack, heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, etc.)

There is a case that people have more trouble with narcissism today than in the recent past because of the need for self-invention that people have today: it used to be that you didn't move, you didn't have to think about who you would marry or what kind of work you would do or how you fit in with other people, it was all decided for you. Chris Lasch, on the other hand in the book

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture_of_Narcissism

saw the culture in the US being corrupted by narcissism in the later half of the 19th century to today. Japanese people think that analysis applies to Japanese people in the Tokugawa period and if you believe that you might also find traces of it in Imperial Rome. (Lasch would see religion with an ecclesiastical structure separate from the state as a countervailing force.)

Myself I had two periods in my life of about six months in my life where I experienced NPD-like symptoms and behaviors. Once I found an article in Psychology Today with a title like "Are you the target of a Narcissist?" and I think I had exhibited 10 out of 12 of the behaviors on their- list. In both of those cases I was under stress, in a kind of transitional situation, and exposed to bad influences.
Those lead joints were leaching lead into the water. If it was a supply pipe, as opposed to a drain, then people were ingesting that lead. It needed to be replaced whether it was leaking or not.

Not sure I follow. Math.random() is in testSort, so the time to generate the random numbers is part of the measurement (even though it almost certainly shouldn’t be).

Edit: my main point is that there are many flaws in this comparison, so I wouldn’t draw any conclusions from the measurements in the article. They’re pretty much meaningless.
I first thought this article was going to be a metaphor tying individual narcissistic collapse to the economic upheaval.
Yes I most certainly agree, I was a manager for awhile and pushed for that but it got rejected by the higher-ups. Not a manager there anymore ;)

Yes. Someone introduces an academic explanation for behavior, then suddenly everyone becomes a psychologist. We see this time and time again with over-diagnosing. Soon there will be Narcissism Spectrum Disorder.
There's a general tendency among the broader population to label anyone and everyone that has slighted them as a narcissist. /r/raisedbynarcissists has 800k+ subscribers and thousands of posts by people who believe that because their parent doesn't see things the same way that they do, that their parent is definitely a narcissist and self-centered and feels no empathy and so-on and so-forth. It's especially dumb because, well, we only get one side of the story -- from the aggrieved -- so they are free to paint the motivations of other side as inaccurately as they would like. When the behavior or motivations of the other side crosses the point of believability, you don't have to justify or explain it because we're talking about a fundamentally-broken narcissist that by definition behaves in unbelievable sociopathic ways. In fact, the more unbelievable you make their behavior, the better case you make that you're dealing with a true narcissist.

It's a mechanism to rant online about your life without the risk of someone calling you on your bullshit. I'm not saying that all of the stories on there are bullshit, I'm just saying that it's (ironically) primarily a label that comes out to describe someone when you are looking to find a narrative that protects your own ego -- because you've experienced trauma and you are looking for a mechanism to not put an ounce of blame on yourself.

Are there narcissists in society? Sure. Is a large percentage of the population narcissistic? No.

When someone "collapses" in the way that the article indicates and/or slights you, does that probably make them a narcissist? Absolutely not.

Calling someone a narcissist lets you freely claim that the other side is incapable of sincere emotion and lets you get away with believing whatever the hell you want. It's popular because sometimes you need to do that to move on. But it's not a healthy way to look at the world.

IIRC, that 5x figure was assuming they could improve about 50% across four consecutive versions, as 1.5^4 ~= 5. I think the first stage improved things by 25% on average, so I wonder if that initial 5x figure should be updated to 2.5x, as 1.25^4 ~= 2.5.
I live in Poland. We are recently being recognized as a developed economy most often. Still, we earn 1/3 in dollar terms per Capita compared to the US or Germany.

I think 4 days week would result in people having two jobs regularly. I wonder if the situation is simalar with basic job workers in more advanced economies.

One interesing point is that people in my IT company were willing to put 5-10% of their income in exchange for work from home. But this is IT.

I think that the right way to go is not to reduce the number of hours but just allow people to work 4 days per week with hourly rate intact. This might be a very welcomed option by many people.

Also - signing up for this in the high inflation time might work well instead of raising compensations. So this is a good time to carry such experiments.

Python is really good at gluing code together. I predict that Python will continue to see tremendous success if it can be fast enough that using it as glue is a no-brainer.

As an example, I maintain a SaaS with a backend written in Python. Only one third of the time in the backend is spent executing Python code, the rest is spent talking with remote services (database, third-parties...). Switching to a language an order of magnitude faster would barely change the perceived responsiveness of the backend.

On the other hand, I welcome any speed improvements in the interpreter because from my perspective it really is free performance.
