I’d add that, even when you put aside everything you mentioned, GitHub isn’t even a good product to host your company’s code.

It’s designed like a social network for open source stuff and it really shows in the UX.

However, most companies uses GitHub to host their private repos and GitHub is pretty dumb at it. The core feature companies will use is Pull Requests but the implementation is garbage vs GitLab. The rest is either useless in corporate environment or not good enough.

From my experience, GitHub is everywhere because founders used it by automatism and by the time you’d feel like you need an alternative, it’s too much pain to change anyway.

I’ve never seen any company having any reason to and wanting to transition from something else (except from SVN) to GitHub.
Just to be clear there was never African slavery in Kingston England.
I highly recommend this, it made the whole topic of "how does a computer actually work" approachable for me. On their website there's a projects section where they highlight things their students did and there's a project that re-creates the built computer in an FPGA (I belive some ice40) I also recommend this as a follow up.
I certainly know my knowledge is limited :D
I'm not sure the paper's authors are very diverse as they claim, they seem cut from the same cloth to me.

ChatGPT may spit out word salad, and be trained on inappropriate input, but there is no doubting the success of some of these models, eg at playing the game of Go, predicting protein folding, etc, etc.

There's obviously something still missing, but the hype is warranted IMHO, these model represent a major advance compared to even just a few years ago.
Just got back from CIDR conference and I wanted to share few of my thoughts and takes. Recordings and slides also got published in the meantime -> https://www.cidrdb.org/cidr2023/program.html
I never understood the whole "designing infrastructure better" thing.

Most large cities are fully built out. You can't design infrastructure better as the infrastructure is already there. Maybe on brand new places being built, but that won't help Chicago or San Francisco or Los Angeles. You can't just use eminent domain and take out all buildings and highrises on both sides of Market Street in San Francisco to build a 10 foot wide roadway only for bicycles on each side.

It's the same with public transportation as well, especially light rail. To put in light rail in some cities, you would have to rip up tens of thousands of homes and businesses.

I never did get this whole argument.

It's like saying that you should make a better infrastructure for the human body. I for one, would like it if my anus would be right over my achilles tendon, that way if I shit my pants, it wouldn't dribble all down my leg, it would just be there on the ground already with minimum fuss.
You're describing a prescriptive vs performance certification route. The former gives per-component minimums, the latter whole-assembly minimums. Most codes allow both, but most builders choose prescriptive because it requires less thought.
I'm Italian, but I don't need to pretend Italy is perfect, and bureaucracy is one of the worst things about living in Italy (especially after you have lived for a dozen years abroad).

One, however, should also appreciate the intricate history of most of Italy, including Venice, which is partially the cause for such bureaucracy. Republic of Venice, the surrender to Napoleon, Austria, the reunification of Italy, etc., in less than 100 years.

>utter garbage like denying women modern medical care.

As became clearly to many for the first time after the SC decision, abortion laws in the US would be considered extreme even in western Europe. I mean, elective abortion in the third trimester? This is literally justifying anyone who ever called it baby-killing.

The fact that you summarize this kind of policy extremism as "modern medical care" that any "analytical person" would agree with, and any opposition to it as fundamentalism and backwards... that's a perfect illustration of the woke mindset yes.

Utterly provincial, zero empathy for anyone who disagrees, and a massively unwarranted sense of self-importance.
Switched to Raycast and never looked back. Incredible tool.
brew repositories are hosted at Github. According the linked article Github did a full scan on all repositories whether those attacks were already in use and implemented mitigations to make it impossible to push attacks to Github. I.e. it should be safe to run brew upgrade.

I'm close with one of the last repair shops I know of in Germany that still does it. There still seems to be a market for it, but definitely not enough to keep an industry alive.

> but we also knew that we couldn't get away with charging enough to cover the cost of parts and labour unless we offered a warranty

I'm not sure about that. The store charges more than enough to cover it and still gets more business than it can handle while still providing a free warranty for 6-12 months.
So trivial that it isn't usually the case.

A weekend project and going at scale isn't the same thing.

But you do have an option to buy an 1960s house. They weren't all demolished - they're still here and naturally some are for sale.

> Your analysis does not explain away decades of mediocre wage growth in the face of inflation in healthcare, education and housing costs.

Wages are typically computed per household. In the late 1960, a tsunami of divorces and single-parent households started occuring (something that wasn't widely culturally accepted before then), which makes comparisons of household wages before and after an apples to oranges comparison. It's basically bad stats.

Re: rising costs of (higher) education and healthcare. It's partially similar to the housing situation. The standard of service people get (and expect to get) today is dramatically higher than in 1960s. In 1960s, we didn't even have MRIs... Nowadays medicine is packed with expensive technology and drugs - that has to inflate the price. Similarly, today's university environment is a combination of an university of the past with a high-class resort (the student facilities are basically on the level of good hotels in many cases) - that's gotta inflate the price too. Add extractionary practices of the medicine insurance companies cartel and university administrators on top of that, and that pretty much explains current prices.
Huh, my company would be a good candidate for a community like this. Unfortunately, I took the fast.ai "live" course through one of the SF universities. It was a very expensive beta test of the free course and the instructors were completely inaccessible (e.g. if your question got enough upvotes it might get answered). It was not what I expected from a university course. It really felt like they tried to automate so much and I'm afraid that this community would be the same.

This is misunderstanding of the thesis. Ideas make changes _possible_. It's not like there is simply more change in places where more people adhere to the new ideas.

The US didn't "lose": it didn't suffer a military defeat forcing any kind of surrender, it simply gave up and went home.

"Losing" a war, in this context, means you surrender to the enemy, or at least quit and sign some kind of treaty to end hostilities formally. The US has never done that. The US has never lost on the battlefield. With Vietnam, it was too unpopular and was fighting with one hand tied behind its back anyway. With Afghanistan, it won military, but gave up on trying to prop up the Afghani government and pulled out.

Yes but it needs constant maintenance. Choosing to keep repairing it in order for it to keep serving its current purpose (as a pathway exclusively for large motorised vehicles) might be the easiest option, but it's still a choice that has to be made.
Undoubtedly the existence of buildings/residences/other infrastructure puts restraints on what you can do to redesign particular roads etc., but it doesn't make it impossible.

This passage certainly does portray Musk as inherently apolitical or amoral, disregarding ideology-

> Twitter might have had a reputation as a left-leaning workforce, but there had always been a faction that disapproved of its progressive ideals. On Slack, some of these workers had formed a channel called #i-dissent, where they asked questions like why deadnaming a trans colleague was considered “bad.” When Musk announced he was buying the company, one of the more active i-­dissenters was thrilled. “Elon’s my new boss and I’m stoked!” he wrote on Linked­In. “I decided to send him a slack message. I figured you miss 100% of the shots you don’t make ”

> This employee was cut during the first round of layoffs. Soon, all the prominent members of the #i-dissent Slack channel would be gone. The channel itself was archived, while bigger social channels like #social-watercooler were abandoned.
China allows foreign apps if they obey the same rules on content and reporting and providing government access that Chinese apps must follow.

The reciprocal stance by the US would be to allow TikTok but subject it to the same rules Facebook and Twitter and YouTube are subject to.
Yes, what a great point! This is why Mauritania had all of the world's richest men until 1981 when they outlawed slavery. If they hadn't done that Bezos and Musk would have nothing on the founders of Mauritanian SlaveTrade Corporation.

Similarly it's why southern plantation owners where by far the richest people in America until the civil war. Carnegie and Vanderbilt had nothing on them. Strange though that nobody knows their names, must be censored by the Neo-Confederacy.
I wore a mask during the height of the pandemic and didn't mind that one bit. I liked it.

I asked my grocery store clerks, who always wore masks during the height of the pandemic, if anyone got covid. None did, because they all wore masks. And they waited on tens of thousands of customers weekly.

Meanwhile, 35 out of 40 of Donald Trump's inner circle got Covid because they didn't wear masks.

So some people want to wear helmets and some don't.

I say, whatever you want to do is fine. But just like the masks in the pandemic, don't you come whining to me if you realize after you get f-ed up that maybe you should have after all worn the mask or the helmet. Don't want to hear any none no whining no way negative uh-uh go away shut up.

I must admit I'm disappointed.

I own a Mac Mini M1 and a Macbook Pro 16" M1 (the later given to me by my employer), and as a software engineer - I don't feel that the current M1 processor is limiting me in any way.

I, however, wanted to get a MacBook for personal use to be more mobile. And postponed my purchase until the release of new Macbooks with one anticipation - lighter devices. Instead I got a new CPU with a bunch of abstract claims by Apple on performance (which for me was never an issue) - in the EXACT same for factor. Same bulky width. Same heavy weight.

The new calc app has always been a travesty. Taking at least a full second or more to load, with an obnoxiously large interface. The original calculator opened instantly and had a completely functional ui. I get angry every time I need to launch calculator on a machine I have not configured with SpeedCrunch. Almost better to use Excel.

> At this point, I'm wondering if there's a start menu replacement app

Not using Windows for like a decade now, but I always go for a third-party launcher on Linux/macOS. They're fast(er) and more importantly extensible.

Instead of trying to index everything all the time, they function via triggers. If I start my query with "em", it searches emojis, if I start it with "=" it does calculations, if with "tr" it translates stuff for me, if with "fs" it does a file search. If there's no trigger at the start it searches apps on my system, and if no app is found it points me to my search engine (and respects my default browser choice).

Instead of using a default launcher that's trying to guess what I want and makes everything slow as hell, limiting the scope of my search like this just makes things much faster. There must be some launcher for Windows that's comparable to Alfred (macOS) or uLauncher (Linux) and once you try it, you'll never go back.

Of course he's got blind spots, and doesn't know all the details, so reality is bound to deviate from his predictions, as it likes to do for us all.

I interned at Lawrence Livermore for three summers and a fall circa 2010, first building internal web apps for IT and then building open source websites for the climate group. As someone who needs a large amount of autonomy, I wouldn’t do it again.

My experience was that 80% of the folks are lifers, for better or worse. Work-life balance was great because everyone’s got kids and soccer games and traffic to beat home, but it was still very much a “butt in chair” system, not a “get work done” one. People regularly do “10-40” (10-hour days M-Th) or “9-80” (9-hour days M-Th, every other Friday off) schedules.

Compared with startup life and even FAANG, everything moves slowly. It’s a combination of real security, security theater, and the red tape that comes with being funded by taxpayer money. That plus the extra rules from just being near the nuclear stuff (can’t drink at lunch, guests need a background check, relationships with foreign nationals must be disclosed) made it a slog.

The most hilarious example, heard only through stories: there are two internal networks, the normal one everyone uses and the high-security one that has no internet access. They are physically separate—no cables crossed, no SSH tunnels, no bridges, nothing. But you have to transfer data between them sometimes, so you would remotely load your data onto a tape drive, and there was a tech you would ping who would eject the tape, run it over to the other network, and insert it in.

As with anything rote, the process was soon automated with a shell script. The script would take a couple of minutes to execute, and your data would be transferred. Entire workflows were built on this script. And around noon every day the latency would skyrocket, because the tape runner was on lunch.
The absurdity that an upper 8-bit ascii range character would be an elementary control character in a terminal.

The absurdity that a number less than 32 would start with b in hex instead of 1.

This.

One of the nicest cars I've driven, controls-wise, was a Fiesta I rented a few years back. I just plugged in my iPhone, and directly got access to maps, spotify, etc via the car's controls.

It had physical knobs to adjust the volume, the air conditioning, etc. When I put it in reverse, the camera feed would replace whatever was on the screen.

It worked perfectly because it just didn't get in my way and didn't have me futz around in some three-level-deep menu to do anything.
Objective Reality exists, the question becomes do we perceive it?

Our minds are computational, our minds simulate, are you capable of perceiving and/or comprehending Truth separate from this phenomena? Are we capable of UNDECEIVING the self?

Simple truths are tools of those who undeceive.

Of the mind, inferences are catalogues of symbolic interpretation.

Of the mind senses, perception, and memory are signals and symbolic representations.

Are we capable of perceiving true existential reality apart from simulation of our senses? Or projection of our expectations and experience?

It is for you to spend your whole life developing that it may be so. This is not a solution ever solve once and for all. It must be solved BY YOU for it to be at all relevant, and it must be maintained in EVERY INSTANCE for which it is to be so, FOR EVER.

In this way, those individuals determinate of will to undeceive the self may take advantage (or merely account) of Truth (whatever that may be) and all that comes of it.

Can we hack it? Are not wisdom, experience, and training the ultimate human hack?

Sorry, but that would be just dumb. The starting point matter awful lot. I remember multiple things that were super difficult to me and I was slow, until I learned some missing piece and it clicked. Then I became good.

Initial struggle does not mean anything. There is such a thing as talent, but fixing your preexisting knowledge and calculating exercises will move you up into "it is not an effort to learn further" category awful often.
If you keep the charge between 20 - 80%, your battery will last for far more cycles than when charging 0 - 100%. So you'll only get 60% of the kWh per cycle, but the battery will do 3-6 times as many cycles.

In fact, the battery management system won't even let you fully charge or discharge the battery for exactly this reason. When it shows 100%, there will still be 1-2 kWh empty and the same for a zero percent charge.

For example, a Toyota Yaris use a tiny (0.7 kWh) lithium ion battery and it gets charged/discharged constantly while breaking/accelerating, but it still last a long time because the charge is kept at about 50%.
