Very good questions and I've been wondering that some myself. I imagine of the Big 3 Microsoft is likely the one to have been thinking about this the most. With Microsoft no longer having a smartphone ecosystem of their own, they will likely have to support both Apple and Android devices and they probably also need to have more answers for the "neither" scenarios as well (de-Googled Android users still sometimes have Windows PCs, for instance; Windows users are said to include a larger share of older "dumb phone" generations; etc). Also, most of those access stations themselves are generally Windows PCs for the intersection of cheapest available hardware and lowest common denominator software. (Though I've heard Chrome OS is shifting that in some places.)

I think the immediate answer is that something like a Microsoft Account-based login system and Cloud-based key escrow becomes more unavoidable in situations like that. But I'm not sure and hopefully there are smart minds exploring some of these scenarios in the long term. Relatedly, I know there are some long-term creatives trying to figure out if "smartphone" is becoming a required utility for the modern world (TOTP has already made that a recently strong requirement in plenty of areas; soon you may not be able to bank without a mobile device, for instance) and the "phoneless" may be its own evolving economic crisis on top of homelessness to deal with in the long term. "Give everyone phones" may sound like a curt, dumb answer, but it may end up being something close to the answer; go to your local DMV and get a secure phone as your digital ID to go with your physical ID. I don't know if that is the plan, I just know it is a plan I've heard we need to consider, that "baseline personal hardware" may be an ever-increasing need.
I think he is correct in this. I am someone who know one expected to be a high paid engineer at a top computer company, working in California. I did not expect it myself.

But my Kansas roots, single mother, being poorer than all my school peers, working minimum wage jobs to pay rent and put myself through a junior college.... It's still who I am, at the core.
Eh - I don't really know that dead is the right term, and I think it mostly served it's purpose (It's actually still getting fairly regular commits, but I agree that it's no longer keeping pace with dot net core)

I would also draw a pretty clear distinction between C# the language, and something like WinForms.

And that's really the whole point - implementations differ in functionality exposed and features worked on (hell - just the compatibility issues and differences between clang/GCC/MSVC is a great example). The corporate implementation is usually the most feature full because it has the most resources poured into it.

That's not a problem. That's the community being able to take advantage of those resources. If/when the company stops being a useful partner, they're free to ditch them and fork (and this is historically how things like Linux/OpenBSD/Gnu tooling exist...)

So again - if you have a real problem with using the corporate release, use the open versions. Contribute to them.

But I don't find it a compelling argument to say that just because a language is sponsored by a company we should avoid it. Doubly so if the corporate version is licensed well.
You can use it with any Python package, and it has a simple UI to install stuff from PyPI.
On the topic of Content is King, I have a different view than the author. I think in the case of these trained AIs, 'content' refers to the training datasets and not the generated outputs.

Trained AIs are in something like the early digital streaming days where there was only one provider in town, so that provider aggregated All The Content. Over the next decade we would see the content owners claw their content back from Netflix, and onto competitor platforms -- which takes us to where we are today. Netflix's third party content has dwindled and forced them to focus on creating their own first party content which can not be clawed away.

When these generative AIs start to produce income, it will be at the expense of the artists whose art was in the training dataset nonconsensually. This triggers the same content clawback we saw in digital streaming. Training datasets will be heavily scrutinized and monetized because the algorithms powering generative AIs aren't actually carrying much water. What is DALL-E without its dataset? Content is King.
Get them signed in and give them repository permissions, then they can use the web file editor.

Edit:

Why would they need to update multiple files "at once". Tell them the "commit" button is like "save", and to enter "save" as the commit note. Yes, the git history log will become a trash heap, but this is the compromise when asking non-technical folks edit VCS files.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Totally disagree; falling in love is 100% a choice, and a choice you have to keep making every single day thereafter.

We are not slaves to our emotions; we have reason, we make decisions with our actions, we have free will.

To say otherwise is to literally deny the concept of humanity itself.

I used to buy/sell junk stuffs in nyc. I would doubt this is a stolen collection from the pics posted.
Looks like a classic dump of the non-valuable lps from a larger collection. Maybe a dealer already bought the good stuff and the relatives of a deceased family put it on the curb, maybe a record store dumped it on the curb, maybe someone even drove by skid row and offered it for free because it was discarded.

Wash Your Hands! And clean the records and sleeves thoroughly. The ripped and torn sleeves look like they've been chewed by mice... (in the biz we called it "rodentia scarring" or something equally fanciful)
I think 5) has some merit, but wasn't worded as carefully as it could have been. I find many of the things I dislike most in others are the "failings" that I have a natural proclivity for, but have worked hard to overcome. I'm not sure how well it works as a test of character though, because it's hard to tell where the person is on their "overcoming" journey.

Though as you say, there are many exceptions. I have a strong tendency towards honesty and a strong aversion to dishonesty, for example.

Trying to untangle it all very likely too complex a problem for this to be used as a meaningful heuristic, but it probably shouldn't be completely ignored, either.
Yeah overall it is a good article, but #5 is nonsense that is spouted too often. It may be true that people often project the things they hate about themselves to others, but you can’t know whether or not that is the case when getting to know someone.

If you’re their therapist and you know that they are homophobic and also homosexual, you can get to the root of things. But otherwise, if you see that someone is homophobic, they may just be homophobic.

I wish people didnt say or think things like this. a lot of the times people get into these complex things and talk over people to make them selves look smart. or make things look more complicated then they really are to improve their image. i ran into this a lot when dealing with rust. if you can't do complex things in a clear and simple way, your just regular.

Any and all.
its a very mixed bag. e.g., mortgage delinquency rates near historical lows [0]. I picked those valuation examples to illustrate that 1) there is a lot of discretionary "investment" wealth around and 2) people are still clinging to the various "disruption" narratives.

obviously inflation is real and the new rates regime is real but it feels that people are pre-emptively trying to cool things down, build some buffers etc. rather than an already realized economic malaise.

the implication for the "time your startup" narrative of OP is that it is even less clearcut of a decision than if it was a real (let alone deep) recession.

Just six comments deep from random coastal volcano and we are already at the Nietzschian übermensch, that escalated quickly!

In the larger picture, let us all consider the logical fallacy of tu quoque. A counter-claim that "you do it too" does not refute the original claim.

I think the author's point is exactly the opposite - he's more impressed by people who experienced adversity in their early years and (presumably) have overcome it to the point where they're interviewing with him.
I don't consider ASCII simple because it needs to be parsed (more than a binary format).

As sample example, a binary format could be as simple as

struct Header {
uint32 width;
uint32 height;
}

struct Image {
Header header;
uint8* data;
}

Image* readIMG(const char* filename) {
int fd = open(filename, ...)
Image* image = new Image();
read(fd, &image->header, sizeof(image->header));
size_t size = image->header.width * image->header.height * 4;
image->data = malloc(size);
read(fd, image->data, size);
close(fd);
return image;
}

Yea I know, that's not a complete example, endian issues, error checking.

Reading a PPM file is only simple if you already have something to read buffered strings and parse numbers etc... And it's slow and large, especially for todays files.
You're presupposing a whole lot of stuff here, but most of all the idea that these formative stories have to be good ones to indicate a good character.

Coming from a "slow start" background does inform a person's character, and it can go either way, but finding out about how it informs their character is what the article is trying to say.

The cool thing is that it uses the same code as the reader and writer.In essence, you write one function, taking two arguments:

tar(dstTarFile, srcFiles)

Next you provide one of the two arguments and query Prolog to find the other: you pass in a tar file as the first argument, and it tells you what `srcFiles` would need to be to create that archive, effectively extracting it. Alternately, you pass in `srcFiles` and it tells you what the corresponding dstTarFile should be, creating an archive.

Another way to think about it is that the Prolog code is not directly telling you how to read/write tar files. Instead, imagine it as a cost function that tells you how well this tar file corresponds to the uncompressed representation of those files, which you're minimizing.

If you were to write it in C, the code would imperative: do this, then that, then this other thing. Consequently, the reader and writer code are totally different. For example, to process the file size, you would write functions two functions:

char* uIntToOctalASCII(unsigned int sz)`

and

octalASCIIToUInt(char* szstr).

Semantically, these are inverses[0]:

octalASCIIToUInt(uIntToOctalASCII(x)) == x

but the implementations have very little in common. At best, you can use one to test the other.

the tl;dr of using Puppeteer for this is "We run Chrome in a headless mode, load your page, and then print to PDF with it".

It makes me nervous having Chrome running on the server, even inside a container without root. Doubly so if the user is able to control any portion of the page being run by Chrome.
The problem with modern work and the associated burnout is that it's so monoculture. This is fundamentally at odds with the natural human experience.

Work is typically performed to achieve some end result. Either an outcome or a material gain.

Until relatively recently in human existence the work performed to derive the output was varied and specific to the desired outcome.

For example: I want to eat carrots. I plant carrots. I want a shed. I build a shed. etc.

Now all work passes through the same point. Perform professional duties. Collect money. Buy outcome.

I get that it's not efficient to do many of these things but from a human fulfillment perspective there's a lot to be gained by doing them yourself.

You are absolutely right. I didnt mean to imply that these was nothing else that goes along with it.

People should totally inspect their efforts and methods in light of their successes and failures. This is how you learn and improve. Your best is not merely how much effort and sweat you put into something, but also your thoughts and methods.
> I don't need a header to follow me down the page, in fact I'd prefer it not to.

I also don't need a header following me, but that's not really what they're talking about. They've moved the "section header/outline"-table-of-contents-links from the top of the document (where they would scroll off the screen) over to the left side, so what follows you is not the old set of headers to other parts of wikipedia that you never clicked, but rather the in-document, titled, relative links up and down the current page.

it's actually pretty useful. (which does not mean I'm embracing what the designers have done; given the general track record of designers and all the spurious white space here, I must assume that this useful bit was only accidentally left in :)
+1 to Foundation Models. I don't share your concerns about LLMs, though, and often refer to the future involving LXMs where X could be images, audio, bioinformatics data, etc
I really like the thrust of this argument (loneliness is about not being understood) but I think the solution is off the mark...

> So it’s your task to make others understand you

There is another task that is just as important. You need to find people who are capable of understanding you. It may sound like a cart/horse issue where you need to understand enough about yourself to find people who are receptive. That my be true to a degree. But no amount of self-understanding is going to change how people respond to you if who you are is not comprehensible to those people.

As an example, imagine you are a straight man with many close friends who have known you for a long time. And at some point, you begin to grapple with the idea that you're not straight, but maybe bisexual. It is possible that some of your old straight friends will have the capacity to listen and understand and respond in ways that make you feel known. But it's not necessarily likely. And if those are the only people you are close to, no amount of self-knowledge is going to change their capacity to make you feel seen and heard.

You're gonna need some new friends.

No, the terrible situation is created by gross corruption, mismanagement, and unbelievable incompetence in those countries.

I live in a similar country (Nigeria)…We Africans are the source of our own problems because we choose not to utilize our resources well and plunder the few we extract, not some boogeyman IMF that also gave loans to some countries that are prosperous today.
> old Soviet shit (whose "quality" is currently being shown in Ukraine)

Both sides in Ukraine rely heavily on Soviet equipment. One of the major problems Russia faces in Ukraine is the highly effective air defense infrastructure the Soviet Union built.

As for China, it has a mixture of heavily upgraded Soviet equipment (e.g., Flankers with modern sensors, electronics and missiles), and its own indigenous designs (for example, it's the only country other than the US to develop and produce a 5th Generation fighter jet). Given China's proven ability to develop high-tech products and manufacture at scale, why would you doubt that it's capable of producing modern military hardware?

I think they are saying train (or at least fine-tune) on a CPU.

This can work in some cases (years ago I certainly did it for CNNs - was slow but you are fine tuning so anything is an improvement) but I don't know how viable it would be on a transformer.
The Paged Media spec on counters and counter-resets paints implementations into a corner. They can't both comply with the spec and implement page count resets on page breaks. This has been a known issue with the spec since 2013[1][2] and been a thorn in implementations since.[3]

I am not an American, I was raised using the metric system for almost everything, but I hate using it for manual work like carpentry and plumbing. For a long time in my country, we used the imperial system for stuff like that, and the change to metric is incredibly annoying and non-intuitive in those domains.
> do your fellow human a kindness, as opposed to just selfishly passing along the garbage

Layoffs impact everyone at the company, even those who remain. There is no "passing the garbage", it's already there, on top of everyone.

It's okay to be human, kindly wish your teammates well, and exit.
What even is "small" or "human scaled" when dealing with tools such as computers? I still can't figure it out. It seems to depend on how much leverage one gets from the computer, and any insistence on human-scaling is prone to underestimate that. The Web is definitely too large for comprehension, to be clear, but there is more room to play in than used by Gemini.

I don't have any problems with TLS; one probably already has OpenSSL around. More or less TLS is too big (in popularity) to fail - there are smaller implementations like BearSSL too. If it really is an issue, one has a perfectly fine protocol removing the TLS wrapper; it won't be Gemini though.
Humbly, I don’t think it’s projection. For example, one who publicly hates liars probably dislikes any instance they have been dishonest or where oblique about the truth.

Someone who is homophobic, would hate any instance where they evaluated a man as attentive even if that’s in a purely objective way so they would claim to be above mens fashion and grooming.

I can’t speak about racists since I don’t know what motivates them. However someone who hates racism, would be troubled when they find they like protecting their in group more than others. It’s not that they are racists, but they can recognize that can be the seed of such if you aren’t thoughtful.

People naturally have facets of themselves they want to expunge but can’t because like all people they aren’t perfectly rationale. They simply are what they are.

I remember the opposite experience in the USA when I was a child. We needed to make an international call from a payphone. Struggling with it, eventually my dad called the operator, who said the call cost $8 or so, and we needed to put the coins in quickly. We tried several times, but my dad and I were unable to feed in 32 quarters before something on the machine timed out, and spat them all back out.

We wondered why $1 coins weren't in circulation.

GIF has no seeking at all. It's entirely sequential, requires single-threaded decoding start to finish.

OTOH every video format has keyframes, is more friendly to post-90s CPUs, and recent formats are parallelizable.

You have only been able to notice how "heavy" VPx is because lengths and resolutions used with this format are way beyond GIFs capabilities.

Try encoding a mere 10-minute 30fps 1080p video in a GIF, I dare you.
I disagree.

Having skin in the game, wanting your community to blossom makes for much better moderators and community governance. They're far more likely to get involved in big tasks to fix long-standing issues. If rules need to change knowing the moderator calling for change helps a lot with acceptance.

My experience with paid moderators is they work in systems where they are vastly overworked so their willingness to actually engage with issues is low. Poor decisions get made. I've reported child porn and drug sales on Facebook and had a mod say they're okay. I have a few dozen examples like that. A lack of passion isn't good.
