Yeah, apps were responsible for drawing the menu bar and handling its mouse events (delegated to toolbox libraries). They also used to ask the OS to put in the menu items for the apple menu, and were responsible for delegating those mouse clicks to the OS as well. Background tasks required the foreground app to release the processor (or interrupts like vertical blank). Everything depended on proper cooperation.

It's really easy to have funds that beat the market over X years if you only measure them once at the end.

Here's a trivial recipe: Gamble 20% of the money on a single roulette spin. Then invest everything in the overall market. (Yeah, technically you want the closest stock equivalent.)

The challenge is to consistently beat the market. To prove you didn't just get lucky on a handful of bets. For that, the criteria isn't weird at all. They're checking if a series of bets on a fund would have mostly or all been successful.

> One gets the sense that [the authors] think the consultants they write about are rotten apples, but [they are wrong]

OK I paraphrased the rest of the sentence into the last 3 words but if you bothered to read to the end, you see that the reviewer completely lost her way. Purporting to review a book, she concluded by the end that its authors are misguided because the real culprit is not the consultants, but rather, every pursuit of efficiency, including all "software development".

Yeah but they kinda do nowadays don't they? I mean I look at 70s tv clips like these ones and stick that search term into google and do not see a drop in production values from one to the other. Picture quality is frequently an improvement, yay tech advances? Sound mixing can sound great using inexpensive equipment and some recently learned expertise? Lighting, kind of couples with camera tech but seems to be able to be ok without it costing everything?

In fact my guess is a bunch of professional dance companies get grants and funding to professionally video their stuff and stick it on the web while being totally under their own artistic control, not needing to wait for an invitation to a broadcast tv station and not having to give up so much for the requirements of that medium?

I dislike the way youtube does things, but I'm not doing it better so there's that. There is surely an ocean of manure there.

Well, I think you'll find the code that is freest of bugs is the code that does not exist.
This is something I find really interesting about it: I feel like if you have an intermediate-to-expert level of knowledge it can absolutely amplify that, and make you massively more productive.

The open question for me is how much it can benefit people with a novice level of understanding - that's one of the reasons I'm exploring Rust with Advent of Code using it.

I have 20+ years of non-Rust programming experience though, so I have no idea how well this would work for someone learning to program for the first time. I'd be fascinating to see how well it works (or doesn't) for complete programming newcomers.

> If the school spends say 20k/student, they charge some students 60k and others 10k, then each rich student has subsidized 4 poorer students. If a parent donates a large sum to get their kid into the school, that number is likely much greater.

My point is that you are misrepresenting the scale of the figures. I suspect the figures are more like $50k fees, and $100k costs? Given those figures as assumptions, rich kids need to pay way way more, and the fees paid by poorer students matters less. Otherwise you just end up with a school with mostly rich kids. I go into my assumptions for the figures in the other post I linked to.

> Expensive schools using their high tuition

Undergrad tuition fees only makes up something like 13% of Harvard income, and some of that is paid for by “poorer” students. I think your argument hinges upon tuition income being the most significant income to the school. Remove 13% of costs (crazy admin staff) and Harvard doesn’t need any tuition income from rich kids any more for undergraduates.

Google result shows “Harvard's 2019 class [snip] a massive 82 percent of those scholars are economically advantaged” i.e. rich kids are obviously not subsidising poor kids.

I am merely trying to point out that you are making deep assumptions, annd your anssumptions appear to be false, although admittedly I have only done some superficial googling.

I presume Harvard is a finishing school, for networking and status signalling. Especially given its 98% pass rate!

> massive opportunity for networking

I would hope that poorer students manage to network into the rich kid networks (I totally agree we should be realistic about how the world works, regardless of how “unfair” it may be). Whether poor students can effectively network is another question. I have certainly seen articles from poor kids explaining how difficult it is to break into wealthy cliques e.g. can’t pony up cash to join sporting events or outings, and don’t understand the social queues.

I admit I don’t really know much about the topic, since I went to a middle class school in a country on the edge of the world, and I have never spent time with wealthy scions. I am relatively wealthy compared with my friends (excluding the friends that I made my wealth with). Note: I’m using undergraduate and graduate in the UK meaning, not the US meaning, which I don’t grok.

Here is a (left-bias?) article that argues that poor kids are not actually being helped: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/2/28/14359140/c...

I presume it is difficult to find right-bias articles looking at equality of opportunity for expensive universities?
A public company can absolutely issue new shares, it's not the typical way companies raise money but it happens all the time. GameStop itself did it during the craze to capitalize on the increase share price did they not?

No idea why you think it would bankrupt the company, it changes nothing. The new shares is balanced by the new money on the balance sheet.
Here's the problem-- this will automate the type of "programming" that's just looking something up on stackoverflow and more or less copy/pasting the answer. There's a lot of that out there.

Once you're a more senior engineer there's a lot more than just writing code. Designing a system, worrying about maintainability, operational burden, scaling, etc. are where you might spend your time more.

I'd argue that even for "programming" the usefulness is debatable. These models spit out relatively correct code but mainly in the sense that they regurgitate something akin to a SO answer. There are plenty of subtle logical errors though and that debugging exercise often takes longer than just writing the code. Lots of code references other libraries, etc. and APIs do change frequently. So ensuring what's generated even works as expected is a fair amount of effort.

Still, the chasm between "engineering" work and "programming" work is only going to get bigger as a result of tooling like this. I expect a lot of what's currently outsourced to overseas IT consultancies can be replaced with half the staff leveraging these tools. The bottleneck has always been producing the exact requirements, tightly scoped tasks, etc. though. We're no closer here.
You can't use RealID-compliant cards to cross borders anyway, just for TSA and other federal ID checks. You can use EDLs. which are only issued by a few states.

I don't think WA will release RealID-compliant cards, they would have already since, as you mentioned, they implemented other changes to comply with the act like random ID numbers and adding the "not valid for..." text.

Most non-citizens will already have some form of RealID-compliant document, whether it's a foreign passport, green card, etc. Since the only added requirement for EIDs is citizenship, and since most non-citizens have RealIDs anyway, WADOT likely felt there wasn't enough justification to issue 6 different forms of ID to residents.
Typewriter Plotters
He's repeatedly said things that are plainly not true. I'm not sure if they're deliberate lies, or if there is an element of self delusion.

For example, he keeps repeating that customers could be made whole if the $4B of new investment comes through.

Newsflash buddy: that ain't happening, ever. Nobody in their right mind or... any... mind would invest in FTX, ever. It's a worthless wreck being picked apart for scrap.

But he keeps repeating it like there's a 50:50 chance of it happening and he just needs to "tip things" towards it being more likely.

The other big lie he keeps repeating is that mark-to-market value of the shitcoins FTX had on their books. They're worse than junk bonds, with some worth maybe one cent on the dollar, if that. But he keeps repeating that if it wasn't for the freeze on FTX's trading, customers could be refunded their crypto if those "assets" could be just sold off.

I want to know what this kid is smoking.
On the advent of code day three it would be useful to have a chunking iterator in rust. Having just implemented day 3 and looking for one, I knew rust stable doesn’t have a general purpose chunking iterator.

I asked chatGPT about it and it very confidently said one existed and gave me a sample code which imported a nonexistent chunking iterator. I wonder about other outputs of chatGPT which are not as easily and quickly verifiable.
It's hard to deduce they'd prefer a NATO surrender. First, they won't tell - and some even don't have enough time/will/ability to make an opinion. Second, that opinion will change in an instant, as soon as NATO surrender will demonstrate its benefits.

And even if not, almost all of them will mostly complain privately, rather than do anything. Russia's society is very atomized.

It's negativity bias. Lots of big problems have been solved with technology. We just dont think of them because they're not problems anymore.

The author may be wrong about what problems they expect to be solved, or even the rate at which problems will be solved, but technological development solves problems, that's why it exists in the first place.

A few quotes from the article:

> But current and former Neuralink employees say the number of animal deaths is higher than it needs to be for reasons related to Musk’s demands to speed research. Through company discussions and documents spanning several years, along with employee interviews, Reuters identified four experiments involving 86 pigs and two monkeys that were marred in recent years by human errors. The mistakes weakened the experiments’ research value and required the tests to be repeated, leading to more animals being killed, three of the current and former staffers said. The three people attributed the mistakes to a lack of preparation by a testing staff working in a pressure-cooker environment.

> Musk has pushed hard to accelerate Neuralink’s progress, which depends heavily on animal testing, current and former employees said. Earlier this year, the chief executive sent staffers a news article about Swiss researchers who developed an electrical implant that helped a paralyzed man to walk again. “We could enable people to use their hands and walk again in daily life!” he wrote to staff at 6:37 a.m. Pacific Time on Feb. 8. Ten minutes later, he followed up: “In general, we are simply not moving fast enough. It is driving me nuts!”

> On several occasions over the years, Musk has told employees to imagine they had a bomb strapped to their heads in an effort to get them to move faster, according to three sources who repeatedly heard the comment. On one occasion a few years ago, Musk told employees he would trigger a “market failure” at Neuralink unless they made more progress, a comment perceived by some employees as a threat to shut down operations, according to a former staffer who heard his comment.

> The mistakes leading to unnecessary animal deaths included one instance in 2021, when 25 out of 60 pigs in a study had devices that were the wrong size implanted in their heads, an error that could have been avoided with more preparation, according to a person with knowledge of the situation and company documents and communications reviewed by Reuters.

> The mistake raised alarms among Neuralink’s researchers. In May 2021, Viktor Kharazia, a scientist, wrote to colleagues that the mistake could be a “red flag” to FDA reviewers of the study, which the company planned to submit as part of its application to begin human trials. His colleagues agreed, and the experiment was repeated with 36 sheep, according to the person with knowledge of the situation. All the animals, both the pigs and the sheep, were killed after the procedures, the person said.

> On another occasion, staff accidentally implanted Neuralink’s device on the wrong vertebra of two different pigs during two separate surgeries, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter and documents reviewed by Reuters. The incident frustrated several employees who said the mistakes – on two separate occasions – could have easily been avoided by carefully counting the vertebrae before inserting the device.
> They are in fact trying very hard to prevent this.

They are, but I'm advocating for this to become a cultural norm among developers to start thinking hard about AI safety, instead of dismissing it as either farfetched or thinking purely about all the new cool things that can be done with new AI capabilities and not thinking as hard about safety concerns.

Essentially I'm advocating for terms such as "AI alignment" and "AI safety" to be taken seriously by the developer community at large. They're ridiculously difficult problems as is, but are impossible to solve if they remain niche topics that are viewed as dubious problems to work on by the technology community at large.
People like saying this kind of stuff to imply that, like, steak tartar is safe.

The fact of the matter is that yes, all things being equal, things like actually cooking food or not leaving things out at ambient temperature make it safer to eat.

The problem with food science is that you can have terrible food hygiene and still survive for a long time! This sort of stuff doesn’t instantly kill you
How would having additional content above the recipe change the copyright status of the recipe itself, divorced from the additional content? It prevents directly copying the entire article, but not the actual recipe (and Google already heavily penalizes exact duplicate content).

What would make more sense is that they are actually taking the recipes from elsewhere and adding the stories to avoid directly duplicating another page, and the Google ranking penalty associated with exact or close duplicates.

My moderate experience with SEO suggests it's a combination of factors. First, Google generally rewards longer content (https://www.sweor.com/seocontentlength), or at least content longer than the few hundred words a simple recipe would likely be limited to.

Secondly, there is (mixed) evidence that Google rewards sites on which people spend longer before clicking back.

Thirdly, the longer format allows them to insert more keywords/longer tail keywords vs. a short format where inserting lots of keywords would be seen as keyword stuffing.

I'd also guess that as much as some people dislike superfluous stories when looking for a recipe, it is a positive for a subset of users that are more likely to subscribe to/return to that site directly in the future.

Good luck convincing your company "Hey because they were 45 minutes late in informing us we need to move all our cloud to a different provider."

Updating a dashboard can easily be an automated process but for business reasons it is not. AWS did not "lie" about the incident - they are extremely transparent for all outages and disruptions (btw this was a disruption - not an outage). They stated on the issue the exact time frame for when the issue started and when it ended.

Is it bad they were late? Definitely. AWS has a history of being late due to the sheer scale it works at. I've caused an outage myself when I used to work there and updating the dashboard requires several higher ups to understand what exactly the issue is and what is considered to be worthy of "informing of an incident." These processes take time. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. But there are legitimate reasons for it.

I'm not sure why you think Jeff is involved here. This kind of disruption isn't enough to warrant someone as high as Jeff to be involved.

As for SLA violations, AWS public SLAs for every service and they credit your account if it ever dips below those defined thresholds. And as for caring I don't know a single cloud provider with the level of great customer support AWS has. This is extremely opinionated but this is what I've observed in the industry.

I would recommend people to use AWS monitoring. But having some of your own basic internal dashboards / metrics is also worth having.
A reminder that the public and personal health dashboards are not the the only port of call.

If you pay for the top tier of AWS support, if you have a suspected outage you'd be paging in AWS who will pick up the phone and start debugging your problem.

If your business depends on AWS you don't sit around clicking refresh on a status page hoping it might be updated.

Same or better uptime might not be granted, but I've been hosting my instance for quite a bit of time now, and the only downtime I've had were due to my ISP.
I'm using vaultwarden too (bitwarden_rs when I first deployed it), and have absolutely no complains whatsoever.

Also, after your device synced with the server at least once, you can still access and export all your passwords, even if the server is down. This is the main selling point for me : even in a disaster scenario, your passwords are "naturally" replicated.

Mine is exposed behind a reverse proxy, with a subdomain != Bitwarden, and a wildcard certificate. Never seen anything weird in the logs since (before, I had a named certificate including subdomain, and I was seeing regular pokes from unknown IPs, so better be on the safe side)

Again, the main bitwarden instance is a huge target. Mine is just a small instance with less than 10 users, which will probably never encounter a targeted attack.
