100%, your comment puts it in really nice words. Plus, the requirements for a good life are so low compared to the lifestyles which the rich lead. It is frustrating that we haven’t got there as a society yet.

Imagine a world where you could YOLO into a Ph. D research position, and if you burnt out be able to have a bed, food, clean water and access to medical care. It’s not much but seems utopian compared to the world today.
Rich parents helped in the Microsoft case, but I don't think that was the case for Apple where the parents of both Jobs and Wozniak were middle class.
I think the ChromeOS world has done a pretty good job of getting there. Yes, it's not quite as impressive as the Powerbooks, but they're able to get surprisingly close with a much smaller budget.
In my experience, teams getting laid off are generally (not always) experimental, high risk / high reward, horizon 2 type bets. Ie not the main function of the company or one of the major bets the company needs to succeed for their current strategy.

So one way to avoid being hired into a team like this is to ask a many questions centered around the impact of the team.

For example,
- “what are some of the main accomplishments this team has had in the past?”
- “what is the mission & vision of the team, and how is it aligned to the business operational plan?”
- “what will happen to the company if this team fails on its biggest bets?”

This is naturally aimed towards bigger companies.
There's even some very niche extensions to BMP which allow it to be used as a container for PNG or JPEG data.

I've been surrounded by people like you for decades no matter which coast I lived on or somewhere in the middle. Employment anxiety is an infectious culture, not a sensemaking operation. I'd suggest ignoring the cultural imperative and instead just go directly for what you want by following a seemingly non-existent path through old-fashioned touchpoints that can only be discovered by talking to others via beer, coffee, and multisyllabic small talk. My experience has been that the best gigs come from those birds-of-a-feather experiences and not whiteboard stunt monkey meetings. The corporation is just a different jungle and I'd suggest you don't really want to star in The Corporation anyhow and look for University, R&D labs, startups, design studios, etc. There are still some good gigs out there; they're just doing what pointy-haired bosses do, trading one set of workers for another, 10K at a time. Good luck finding your tribe no matter who, what, or where they are!
Good point, I don't. But sure was a missed opportunity if true :)
Android has a lot of open source parts to it, but nearly all users are running a commercial version and it's not managed as an open source project, so I don't think it counts.

Developer tools are different.
Oh yeah, they probably do. FAANG can throw really expensive engineers at simple problems and still get bad results, or they can accomplish great things.
Wall-E was about as much about post-scarcity as it was about escaping reality. To me it looks like we've focused on the second part and we got pretty good at it.
> you avoided using PNGs on the web because IE6 didn't support the transparency

Nonsense. The only reason to avoid PNG was IE’s gamma issues: IE6 did not support progressive transparency, so at worst you had full-color gifs.
Note to those not liking this, there is an option in the preferences to revert to the old Vector skin. No idea how long this will be but setting that preference may give them feedback that some users prefer the old layout.
explorer.exe is also responsible for the Windows "shell" (Start menu, taskbar, system tray, desktop background), at least historically. I think more of this started to be done by Metro and UWP subprocesses since Windows 8. (But explorer.exe is ultimately still important—if you kill its process, you lose everything but alt-tab and control-shift-escape). So I'm not too surprised that it would request network access given how much it's doing.
For anybody wondering, argumentation here is this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentation_framework I found the idea quite interesting within my master's program during AI class. My prof. research group was trying to use this to detect fake news.
Polls indicating support of the status quo are obviously in response to the threats of war, and doing one's best to avoid it. Support for reunification however has fallen off a cliff.
Just out of curiosity, is there a reason that both this and copilot support Vim but not Emacs?
I think the answer is no, that's not enough power, but even if it were, you would need some way to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy within the watch itself. That would presumably be a pretty lossy conversion, so it seems even less likely that the captured energy would be sufficient.
First time I see Prolog...I thougt that seeing the compiler invert a function automatically is quite impressing. I mean just being able to take only the forwards declaration and figure out the inverse is interesting in itself.

A lot of the friction here is that the WMF (nonprofit who gets donations and runs servers) and the Wikipedia community (the unpaid people who write the content and run the project[0]) are separate entities. Many people in the community feel that the WMF is misleading donors into thinking the donations are for the latter.

> A 10dbi gain yagi boosts your transmitted and received signal equally

I don't see how this can be true, as long as you're not arguing semantics and actually want to use the wifi. Wouldn't you need two identical routers outfitted with high gain directional antennas pointing at each other? That's easy to do when you control both of them, but the subject under discussion is connecting to public wifi of a router you do not control.

Surely a big antenna pointing directly at a router with a tiny antenna will send signals with more clarity than it receives them. The tiny antenna is broadcasting a weak signal in all directions, and the big antenna is transmitting a strong signal in one direction.

I believe that the big antenna could "pick up" some parts of the radio waves from the router, but wouldn't most environments be too noisy for your receiver to find any useful signal? By the time the already weak radio wave gets to your antenna, it's dissipated so much that you couldn't possibly read enough of it to put a meaningful signal back together, right?

Here's the thing about the switching and the costs of it: every other country, much poorer than the modern US of A, went through it just fine. And in any case, this cost is not going to go down the longer you wait, on the contrary—unless, of course, the US industrial prowess utterly collapses so that there is not much left to upgrade.
The C# language team are doing a great job. Most of what I hate about C#/.NET—such as the lack of a UI framework that runs on Linux, as I just bemoaned in another comment—was either inherited from the earliest versions or got forced through by management at MS.
This makes sense, although there are downsides to not naming types, as these serve as documentation. Python documentation has a strong tendency to using descriptions to avoid giving names to types, which imho makes the documentation needlessly confusing.

Note that I'm writing "types" and not "classes". Interfaces do just as well, if not better!

For what it's worth, in the static realm, OCaml introduce features that let code check for presence of a method (instead of implementing an interface) ~25 years ago. Unfortunately, this proved rather unwieldy and, to the best of my knowledge, nobody uses that feature.
Anyone know if the GPUs are relatively affordable through Inception?
Here's a way to "cheat" your way out of this problem. Write it down.

Whenever you find yourself explaining the same thing several times, either to a single person or to several people, just put down the argument in a short memo, word doc, email, powerpoint, whatever. Send it to the last person who needed it, or just save it somewhere. Next time you're asked you can just send them the writeup.

I have the same problem as you. The underlying condition is that often times I'm just too lazy to write down what I have in mind. But being lazy results in more effort in the end.

Don't be lazy like me.
So near? Might want to double-check that. Indian ocean's big, this isn't terribly close to India.

Mechanical skills are good, but mechanical skills and good positioning are great. Most people only think about shooting in the shooter genre. Typically, when I win, my kills were as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. There are only a few good defensive positions in a given map. Once I hold one down, you have to outnumber me by at least 3 to 1 to kill me (Apex Legends) (or push me out with ordinances, but the same bad players never use them).

Methane has an 80x higher GWP than CO2 over the first 20 years, so ending routine flaring (even if the answer is "complete combustion") is an immensely important problem to help address the effects of climate change. Another source: https://www.edf.org/climate/methane-crucial-opportunity-clim...

> We measure books based on number of copies sold.

But is this a good metric or just Goodhart's? Let's say you're writing a technical book. How do you measure the "best" book? What is best? Number of sales just correlates and can happen just because a big school picks up a book and other schools copy. But that doesn't mean it is good.

> If I was managing an organization full of book writers then I very well might measure number of lines per day.

Please don't manage anyone. We don't need any more Dickens style books, and especially not code.
I had the opposite experience. I wanted a quick http server that would proxy some requests where I couldn't control the client and the real servers. I hadn't written either language at the time, but I had it in seconds in Golang and fully functional and I used actix and halfway through the dependencies disappeared and then afterwards it was still a hassle even with help from people on the subreddit and discord.

Reduced to its barebones, the problem is:

1. Expose a HTTP server

2. Make n HTTP requests

3. Combine their output

4. Return the result

But I was definitely expecting to have an outcome in a few hours. This might be a language that it takes more than that time for me to be proficient enough to use async code in.

Here's an example from my friend, almost exactly my problem and what was suggested: https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/kvnq36/does_anyone_kn...
What everyone complaining about what OpenAI can "afford" is missing is that if OpenAI were to pay more, the only rational thing for them to do would be to move the jobs to another country that has lower risk levels. This would leave Kenya without the jobs at all.

Thinking you can have both higher wages and jobs in unstable countries is either advocating for state-mandated outsourcing or is wishful thinking.

Oversimplifications to this degree aren't helpful. A specific policy should see a specific response, no matter who you think is "bad".

Thank you. I'm very passionate about this area, so it's fun to talk about. :)
Amazing. Getting just AsyncLocalStorage and the rest of async_hooks later / or not all would be great, as that's currently blocking us from bun.

Really appreciate the pragmatic approach!

(Instead of being dogmatic like "we just can't/won't deliver async_hooks unless its exactly right", so then it never happens.)

Kuznets' quote is about international finance. Not social unrest. The factors that lead Argentina to collapse are uniquely Argentinian. What happened after that is unsurprising.
I've thought about similar problems like rewatching your favorite movie, and concluded that treating it as a priority queue or trying to watch it every _n_ days is the wrong approach; you want to instead be reminded when you've forgotten about your friend Alex or what _The Leopard_ is about, so you can then ping them & catch up or rewatch that movie with a near-fresh mind. (If you ping Alex while you remember them, then maybe there's another actually-forgotten friend you could've pinged instead who would be more valuable to get back in touch with.)

It is, in other words, the exact opposite of 'spaced repetition', where you want to review right before forgetting to strengthen the memory the most; in this use-case, 'anti-spaced repetition', you want to review only after you've forgotten it.

A programming language referencing a template language library for processing a markup language to generate another markup language (PDF) sounds just about right.
IMHO the biggest advantage is the RAM->GPU VRAM pipeline, or at least, that was my experience before - whatever you want to send to the VRAM, it has to be in RAM first, and you have to wait until it gets copied, before you can use that RAM again. With unified memory it should not be necessary anymore (you just mark that part as input for GPU). Same should sort-of apply for iGPUs but I'm not 100% sure.

And given that the whole MacOS is built around various GPU-accelerated frameworks, it kind-of matters a lot.
The same in Android Contacts and GMail Contacts.
So is or isn't this blazingly fast?
The legitimate reason is that it's not pertinent to the case. The accused is on trial, versus evidence publicly presented against him. If the prosecution feels that the evidence they would like to reveal in the trial is sufficient for a conviction, they have no reason to throw in 'Oh, and we have an informant who's been snitching on you and your fellow conspirators.'

It's not exculpatory evidence, there is no obligation for the prosecution to turn it over. There's no reason for the judge to allow a line of questioning into it unless the defendant can make an argument as to why its relevant.
> Also the metric system is European in origin.

As is quite a lot of American culture. Lots of good European ideas got improved on by America. Do one more ;-)
One problem I've had adopting such a system is that you want the system to help manage some load of work, e.g. maintaining your personal relationships. But using the product is itself work: you need to set it up, remember to use it, keep it up to date, etc. So, just as you've procrastinated keeping up with old friends, you procrastinate using the tool. And, of course, the tool doesn't reduce the workload of keeping up with friends. In fact, done successfully, your work has increased as you need to talk to your friends more often. So you're basically adding work (using the tool) to do work you didn't have the energy for in the first place (talking to your friends).

Everyone loves the idea of talking to their friends, conceptually. But, given ample time and opportunity, many choose not to keep up with friends. It's almost as if people only "want to want" to keep up with friends, rather than actually want it.
>The big problem is that we all deserve to live a good life, even if only some of us are lucky enough to find these difficult to find solutions.

Unfortunately this world you talk about doesn't exist anymore.

I've lived in the developing world too. There's a reason why locals who actually want their country to succeed generally hate this. Nobody says "paying well" is a bad thing, but you have to realize that well is relative.

As someone who has been poor, the idea that the massive windfall is better is so frustrating. It's not. At least where I lived, people could not explain to you how a bank worked. People often did not save money, and if someone found out you had money, you were immediately asked for 'loans'. Beyond that you have to think about _lifetime earnings_. If you hire all of the lumberjacks for your slick handmade-in-africa table business, what happens to the SYSTEM of these people when other businesses go out of business and liquidate their assets then you leave? It's not as simple as some new business popping up and employing people.
> 8-but with alpha? Fine.

Not exactly, palletised png supports a full alpha channel which did not work with IE.

Though you had to work to get that as usually software would limit palletised output to GIF (if you didn’t outright have to create your pngs from gifs).

I disagree. Tesla is way ahead of the competition in the unit cost of making their vehicles. Further more they are being pro active in making sure they have the necessary inputs in their own hands, right down to lithium, to keep growing their manufacturing end.

Remember Tesla's intent is not to maximize profit but to catalyze the world's shift from fossil fuels to EV's to as quickly as possible. The trick here is to avoid bankruptcy while putting as many EV's in customer's hands as possible and scaling the production side as high as possible to get the lowest unit cost.

It's pretty clear that Tesla has been executing very effectively on this plan and the competition are in for a rough ride. And whoever wrote this article is ... confused at best.
