I am a huge fan of your work, Eric. I started out in PL and ended up in ML, working on far less impactful projects than you did :)

However, I don't believe metaverse is a waste of time, at least for business users. This can eliminate all office space use in about 5-10 years if the hardware and software is ready, which it very likely will. Or maybe a wall to wall LED screen will do the trick for remote social presence, making the headset redundant.

It can spill over from the office to personal lives like the PC did. But anyway, hope you continue to work on cool things.
Modern devices however are unusable without software and the warranty usually covers at least a minimum of software performance.

I understand why manufacturers wouldn't want to deal with bricked devices, which are technically still perfectly functional yet require some exotic firmware download over JTAG to reboot.
Are you sure you are not talking about yourself? Also, simply writing "I am not attacking you" at the end of an attack doesn't help either.
Stripe… will just tell you to go fuck yourself, in only slightly more polite language.

If they were to let you manage recurring transactions on your card (which their system may not even keep the record of, tokenizing it completely) then they could be accused of contractual interference if, say, you had a 1-year contract for that charge and they just let you stop it. Their solution? Merchants use their API to enable you to handle it.

How well that works in practice? Fuck around and find out, but it ends in a cancelled card number in bad cases, and a closed account in worst cases since some credit card companies will just fork over data to merchants for “recurring” authorized transactions, even after a number change. Really it’s pretty much criminal, and there’s no meaningful solution. Perhaps small claims for the losses incurred plus costs to replace the card, with an actuarial take on the longer term cost from the credit score hit, etc. … but again, good luck.

> X was a Y genius, this is why they could Z.

This is a non-explanation. Chalking something up to genius is just a specific kind of chalking it up to magic. "Here's this person, how does their mind work, what goes inside on it? Magic! They're a genius!"

It may be so that the way Feynman worked followed from the way he thought. If so, that doesn't mean we just throw up our hands and recommend it to people who fit our genius-pattern. Instead, we need to explain genius, which involves treating it like any other object of scientific study. Once we do that, then we can figure out how to cultivate it. That's what this article should inspire.

> Either you do not know what's the meaning of "red herring" or you're failing to understand the problem.

Merriam-Webster: "red herring [noun] (...) 2. [from the practice of drawing a red herring across a trail to confuse hunting dogs] : something that distracts attention from the real issue"

English Wikipedia: "A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important question. It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences toward a false conclusion. A red herring may be used intentionally, as in mystery fiction or as part of rhetorical strategies (e.g., in politics), or may be used in argumentation inadvertently."

This is exactly the meaning I'm using, so I think I know it just fine. To reiterate once again: leaking personal data isn't the only way telemetry can be problematic - it's not even the major issue in practice, thanks to associated risk of fines and bad PR (GDPR was quite helpful here). Saying that your telemetry is fine because it's not collecting personal data is just a way to distract the reader. It's the equivalent of advertising your heavily processed food product as safe "because it doesn't contain asbestos".
Advent(2) – The System Call Advent Calendar: Starts Today
"Welcome to the Advent(2), the Advent calendar of the Operating System Group at the Hamburg University of Technology. Every day of December, we will open a door and find a system call, a concept or an interface of Linux. Behind each door, there is a short article and a small exercise, for which the solution is provided the following day."
I'm aware of the kind of things stated in the article, I'm more wanting to know whether those are the main reasons (based on a reply above it seems not) and why people think the indicate crazy (his statements about 14 year olds match my experience just fine).
Haven't tried the specific product myself so I can't really say. imo Artificial flavors aren't great at replacing a thing, but they can transfer the essence of a thing's flavor to something else and that leads to interesting results. For example, snow-cone syrup is a surprisingly good flavoring for kratom!

Yeah that's fair. Doing something super novel is risky though, and a big part of starting a business is about mitigating risk

Can't be that often considering Apple says yes to the government tens of thousands a time a year[1].

Most hacks, these days, seem to fall into one of three categories:

1. State actors

2. For profit criminals

3. Teens for lulz and street cred

I guess the first group would probably keep it pretty quiet. The second would keep it quiet until they've abused the data as much as they want to, then sell the remainder on the dark web. The third would make a big noisy mess right away.

Citizenship is not about tenure. Transgressions by citizens are punished by governments, but not by removing citizenship. The state punishes "its own", while outsiders may be removed or denied a path to joining = gaining citizenship. i.e. a sovereign state is not like a club.

A Coindesk journalist was the one who first broke the story, that's how the public became aware of it in the first place. Only a few days ago Vox published that bizarre interview, basically giving Bankman-Fried yet another platform to spread more lies. The investors in FTX were mainly not crypto people but venture capital firms, newbies and even the often cited public pension fund.

As someone who's been in the space since the early Bitcoin days, I don't know a single actual crypto person who was a fan of the likes of SBF, CZ etc even before FTX imploded. It's firms such as Sequoia Capital and Softbank (seriously, they're always in when cash can be burned) that lost millions in FTX, not actual crypto natives for the most part.

There is an interview with SBF out there where he quite literally calls the defi tokens he traded a "ponzi". Of course none of the expert investors did due diligence because they were blinded by the bull market hype, with fat dollar signs in their eyes. Now that their "investment" has disappeared the mainstream has made out the culprit as well. Not the scammer, not the gullible tradfi traders, not a system that relied entirely on trust without verification or regulation - no, it's crypto that was the problem of course.

If only there were a way that exchanges could be reliably audited. Maybe some kind of decentralized ledger that can't be controlled and falsified by a single dishonest party.

I'm still on the toner that came with the printer (which is half empty to begin with!) years after buying it. I use laser because it doesn't run when it gets wet and because there is no ink to dry out with low usage.
I really like how the Advent of Code is structured. Not only it makes you think about how to solve the problem, it pushes you to architecture your code defensively so when you get the new requirements in part 2, you have the least amount of code to change. I remember being bitten in a problem involving a keypad: I didn't think the keypad shape could change!

HTML+JS is "turing complete" so in a sense you can make everything in HTML that you could make in Flash.

In practice, I think the authoring experience has been lost. There is still Adobe Animate (which is the renamed Flash application), but I think you can not export to a fully interactive HTML application - only to static videos or simple HTML (like interactive ads). Maybe it is now possible, but I haven't seen much use of it.

The magic of Flash started with a very nice vector editor - it even allowed you to "paint" Vectors with a brush. Then you had very intuitive tools for animations (tweening, onion shells). You could add simple interaction from the GUI. But it was easy to run custom ActionScript (basically JS) code on events, and move objects around on the screen. When you needed more control, you could also completely go to the ActionScript level and create your objects from code.

Nowadays, what do you use to create animations? After Effects seems what a lot of people use but it is overkill. Animate seems to be barely maintained. And if you want to do a game? I think Unity & co. have taken over, but they lack a bit the low barrier to entry that Flash had.
> stifling innovation and hurting musicians

Have you looked into music labels yet? Or just generally into the music industry, have you tried to release your music and chatted with some larger label on what kind of deal they could offer? Music labels are the main culprit of pain in the music industry, for streaming companies, for artists, for performers.

Music labels now got into forcing their signed artists to market themselves their new productions, wanting them to go viral before they even authorise the artist to release new albums. That would be most of the job of a label: marketing, and now they try to force artists to do the deed for them, while still extracting their 50-80% cut of royalties (and only sharing with artists after they cover their costs of recording and marketing).

It's a very exploitative industry, like most passion industries are.

Three labels control some 50+% of all music catalogue in the world, they strong-arm deals with artists (taking their cuts before paying artists) and forcing royalties deal that are more advantageous to them than to artists. If you don't play by their rules they simply take their IP away.

If you really wish to see artists being better paid it's better to focus the hatred on this kind of behaviour, it's not like Spotify can dictate the terms when a few massive companies have this amount of leverage.
As a left leaning person myself I have to say 'our side' is feeling the consequence of karma right now.

I've been with Vodafone for 10 months now. Wanted to have broadband and two mobile lines. Was forced to get the landline in the package. I just never plugged any phone to the wire.
Over the last 50 years the value / norm system of mediocre minds have won. I think it’s as easy as that, and you see it everywhere.

Sadly I think it has to do with external threat: When there is one (like during the Manhattan project) the mediocre can accept a standard of excellence, because deep down they know what the alternative is. But when there isn’t one the cultural focus shifts towards mediocrity, and “politics” becomes the dominant game. And the less socially focused curious minds are easily outmaneuvered.
Nothing of this would change if iPhones had a simple 'unlock' setting with an 'at your own risk' disclaimer. People who are happy with the default just keep the phone locked, others can trade Apple's "warm embrace" against the freedom to install any software they want on their own device. Tech companies really should stop treating their users like idiots who can't think for themselves. It's all about the sweet app store profits, nothing else.
This is the answer. Flash was at its best, in my opinion, with its low-to-no-code animation approach. Newgrounds is or was full of people creating splines-based, animated artwork in a way I haven't seen as easily and fully replicated by as many people as it was in the days of Flash.

This disagreement is purely about semantics.

In case its not clear, Linux the operating system typically means the Linux kernel plus a set of unix-inspired GPL-licenced userspace tools. Some (still) call this GNU/Linux, although that is a bit of a mouthful.

Android has a completely different userspace to "Linux". The kernel is not the issue.

According to the article most of the affected have been informed, but they have not informed everyone yet. I think it's a fair compromise.

Nobody wants to be told they have been laid off by finding your name in a power point in the morning, just because you live in a different time zone. They have offices around the world, so it is difficult to inform everyone at the same time without calling someone in the middle of the night.

At the same time those who have been informed are talking to other employees, and news spread fast. So they end up with a compromise - inform the company about the process.

They are handling it better than what I experienced not long ago. After announcing the layoffs and informing the affected, they did not communicate who was affected until the week after. Colleagues who had a good network knew who were affected by talking to each other, while others were left in the dark
> It's not rocket science.

It's not rocket science, but it involves banking and property law. I'm not sure which one is more complicated.

> If your banker tells you he used your savings for his holiday it's not ambiguous

In fact, your banker does routinely use your savings for his holiday. This is called "fractional-reserve banking", where the bank doesn't put your money in a metaphorical "safe", but rather they use it for whatever. Most of the money is loaned to other parties, but the money can also be used to pay employees' salaries (which can get used on a holiday).

I'm not saying FTX didn't do anything criminal. Most likely they did. It's just that laws are sometimes more complex than they seem. (And that you probably have the wrong impression of what your bank can do with your money?)
> This is the point I am specifically disagreeing with. I think a language model that is just mocking human speech will not be able to accurately represent emotions and goals in a way that cannot be detected.

It would be more interesting if you explained why you think this. As it stands it reads as a magical argument / one of those "I'll know it when I see it" statements.

A lot of people are conditioned against accepting that they are fundamentally not very complicated and they wouldn't mind interacting with a philosophical zombie. By definition you would not, or it would not be one. By making that conclusion you recognise you cannot know the internals of another being except by their statements. Hence, just language is enough. No need for subjective experience.
All those things could be the case, but I think the most likely is that its just random, and unlikely you'll ever succeed in the first place.

Case in point, why did you first learn programming? Probably because you wanted to build something, maybe because you thought it could be a success. Everybody starts as a non-tech person getting into it with a specific goal, really what makes you a programmer is the fact you failed, and unless you gave up you tried again and learnt and became better at your craft. Not to say that those that succeed the first time don't, but its not as much as natural process.

I started programming, as a lot of people do, because I wanted to make a game (and still do), and like a lot of people that first get into game dev, my first goal was to avoid doing that messy programming work myself and find someone that can do it for me. Again, like many, I tried this for a while, until someone reminded me that everyone who does this got into it for the same reason as me, and if they know what they're doing why would they drop their dream game for mine (unless I was paying).
There's no reason you need to stop people from doing what they want with their devices just because you don't want to do it yourself.

The First 3 One-on-Ones
Get the one-on-one advice you need to get started as an engineering manager: three tangible lists of ideas of what to talk about in your first few one-on-ones.
I spent two years preparing notes and delivering lectures 4-6x a week using a sketchpad.

1. If I put the pad on the right of the keyboard, then I can type normally, but I am writing at an awkward angle. If I put the pad right in front of me, then the keyboard is too far from me, and can't type fluidly. There is this continuous tension about where to place them.

2. Pads use bluetooth or wire to connect. If I use bluetooth, then my headphones must be wired. So there is a tradeoff there. Headphone are necessary for meetings.

3. There are the non-screen sketchpads, and the screen ones. The non-screen ones require a lot of hand-eye coordination (because you have to look at your monitor while drawing on the pad). They are not as stress-free as paper. The screen ones would help a lot more, but now you have two screens showing the same thing. The pad screen to draw things and move them around with your hand/pen, and the monitor to show you what you type. Kinda stupid.

Well, why not use just a ipad-like-tablet and both draw on it and type with a keyboard. Because drawing requires the surface to be flat, and keyboard require the screen to be verticalish so you can easily see what you are typing.

4. The software is still bad. There is still no native cross-platform sketchpad application with collaboration features built in, that will let me conduct a three hour online research meeting with dozens of pages of math. Browsers will inevitably crash, and are just slow.
This is partly the idea behind DANE. With a DNS TLSA record one can create limits like this on a domain name.
> If consumers value Spotify enough they will leave Apple for it (spoiler: They won't)

That's not how reality works at all and you are very aware of it. You are trying to force an equivalence between a device ecosystem which has massive network effects once you are in it, a device most people use everyday in 2022 for most of their lives needs: maps, communication, banking, government interactions, entertainment and so on, and pitting it against a simple music/audio service.

What makes Apple behaviour even more egregious isn't only the 30% cut, it's that they provide a competitor that doesn't have to care about this overhead cost, it's undercutting the competition because they control the whole platform. If this doesn't sound anti-competitive to you then I believe you are deep into a hole.
Pope John Numbering
The fact that in Windows-speak 'unicode' and 'UCS-2' (an encoding) have been used as synonyms has caused a universe of confusion. Even after I grokked the difference I still had arguments with colleagues who remained bamboozled by it. The fact that for a brief time there were only 64k code points, so that you could sort-of fudge the distinction, only made things worse in the long run.
I quite like how ikea did it. You can control everything with local wireless remotes and be completely unnetworked. Or you can buy the hub which gives you app control on the local network only. No servers involved. And finally you can connect the hub to Apple/google services for full internet access.

It’s truely the best, everyone gets what they want.
