3 months down the line: How mastodon is restoring the Nazis to power
I used to commute to SF for a year and it was shocking to me how the home to one of the wealthiest companies and residents are overwhelmed with homelessness and crimes.

The scene of downtown was something out of a dystopian movie where you see wealthy people walking by a drug addict with needles on the ground and yet everyone appears to conform that this is the norm

I'm definitely oversimplifying the problem here but intuitively shouldn't a city with high income have more money to spend on infrastructure?

Where are the taxpayers money spent on?
We have seven+ decades of experience now. We are certain of two things. (1) Price of reactor n+1 is not less than n's; (2) every number produced by the nuke industry is a lie.
> What a reasonable default is depends on the type of application and how it's likely to be used.

No default (other than calling isatty) is reasonable, because you don't know (and you don't want to know) what your output is being piped through.

If you really must, add a flag to force enable/disable escape codes.

> "prog | grep foo" outputs to the terminal. From prog's perspective it doesn't, but it does. Do you want escape sequences in there? Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't.

What happens if "prog" outputs an escape sequence (e.g. set color) on one line, and outputs another one (reset color) a few lines down? grep might match one or the other, or none, or something in the middle. grep might want to output its own escape sequences (like it can do for highlighting a match). "prog" can't know what grep could possibly want to output, without inspecting grep's entire argument line, and effectively re-implementing all of grep - bug-for-bug, compensating for differences in GNU, BSD, BusyBox, etc.

There is no sane way to handle every edge case here, and you will get frustrated every time you hit one.

> Even "prog | less" outputs to the terminal, indirectly, and less can interpret escape sequences.

$ echo hello | less > hello.txt
$ cat hello.txt
hello

It can, but should it?

That's exactly how it is. I still remember going into the office, when the company was going through some very tough period, and sitting with the directors and other managers. All we had was a spreadsheet with employee names, positions, and their salaries. Then,one by one we removed as many as it was possible and then people got made redundant.
"Much of what is going on in and around San Francisco is driven by the population and commerce there over which the government has limited control."

Why don't cities like Miami and Houston have a homeless problem like San Francisco's?

Apparently she's also pregnant again[0] during these legal proceedings that will likely end in her imprisonment.

most people do not know that a very significant portion of the residential population in SF is ethnic Chinese. Workers and excecutives alike travel to San Francisco each day from nearby residential areas that are not at all like the commercial streets of San Francisco. Many people there, like New Yorkers, had developed an aversion to interacting with the skid row and excess-party crowds that line the popular areas, long ago. That aversion was part of the formula on how it went so badly, in the modern chapter.
Amazing: a giant (and informative) thread on markets, investing, and value with many asking the same question - "but what else are you going to invest in?" - and not a single mention of building soil, and in turn health, or even "goats"...and I heavily expected goats to be at least mentioned.
> Then you, or somebody near you, is doing it very wrong. I do not mean this as a moral judgment, I mean it as an engineering process diagnostic feedback.

IMHO thats the biggest problem with TDD. People often think of TDD as a set of requirements that all push for some set of benefits.

But it is really a development methodology where you as a developer heavily utilize tests to drive the development process itself. It is a mindset, not a checklist.

Perhaps easiest to explain (with an inaccurate comparison) as - it is like REPL-driven development but with persistent and sharable artifacts.

Behavioral driven development is IMHO stronger in this regards, because people tend to understand how the additional artifacts (beyond what you might see with a requirements list or use case document) are part of a methodology. People can better separate the methodology from the benefits/outcome.

You're putting the word greedy in quotes, but what you're saying is exactly correct. People will pay anything to save their own life. If the market is allowed to react to that in an unrestricted manner, that quickly raises the wealth floor on being able to save your own life, which is, patently, morally incorrect in cases where the profit margin is high. It is antithetical to civilization. The fact that people who disagree with that high-level concept in the broad sense are not vanishingly rare is a desperate societal emergency.
Whether true or apocryphal, there exists this intriguing idea that in China's past, they had a system of medicine where doctors were paid a salary when the client was in good health, which immediately ceased if they fell ill.

What's interesting about this, is the rest of the world typically does exactly this, with almost everything but not medicine. With medicine, people can pay more and more for products and services that are working less and less.
The credibility of the assertions in the article aside, most of the problems that SF is experiencing are of its own creation, so I cannot commiserate too hard with its plight. And I recently moved away, so I care less.

Every city, whether you admit it or not as part of a deliberate strategy to succeed, is building itself a reserve of advantages and points against future adversity. SF has natural bonus points for geography, weather, etc. And intangible bonus points for talent pools, etc.

SF chose to squander points over the years by letting conservative liberals prevent it from modernizing its policies and infrastructure, letting tax money be spent on ridiculous homeless-favoring policies, underinvesting in long-term improvements while diverting money to enrich union Muni drivers and city workers. Favoring people who are here already, over those who want to be here but couldn't afford it, who gladly pick up and leave from their rental properties with no attachments.

All leaving it with a fragile tax base and city services so entrenched with lazy interests that it collapsed at the pandemic's pressure.

If you want a lesson in how a city with so many advantages can sink its own ship, study SF.
> But the latest and greatest software trend–generative AI–is in danger of being swallowed up by copyright law.

About time.

> If the AI industry is to survive, we need a clear legal rule that neural networks, and the outputs they produce, are not presumed to be copies of the data used to train them.

But they are compressed lossy copies of all that data! That's the whole point of noise/denoise functions that neural networks are based upon. The whole mathematical foundation of training a neural network is "teaching" it how to recognize and/or create copies of data stored in the training set.

> Otherwise, the entire industry will be plagued with lawsuits that will stifle innovation and only enrich plaintiff’s lawyers.

When you're willingly breaking already established law en masse for profit in hope no one cares enough, be it copyright law or any other, you're not an "innovator", you're a criminal. The fact that you're a tech giant or a Bay startup doesn't matter in this regard; the only thing that matters is the notable amount of time required for the justice system to catch up with your novel tools for laundering intellectual property.
Isn’t that “possible” for any computer or device connected to the internet?

I feel like “possible” is doing a lot of work here that applies everywhere.
A reasonable expectation might be that at least for new imagery this is “work for hire”.
Sure, I get that. But is the code behind something like reddit.com really that poorly written? Like a buggy, half-completed homework assignment that I turned in as a freshman CS student? If so, that seems to be an entirely different problem from the one discussed here.
My experience is the same. Could be " good engineers" and "bad management" but this would not explain why the " good engineers" would work for "bad management".
Nah dude. I recently re-watched the whole show, and while I liked certain parts of it... it's a very transphobic show. And it's not just that episode; that episode gets callbacks in future episodes all the time.

It's a mean spirited gag, and the mere fact of being transgender is the punch line, over and over. It sucks. It makes revisiting the show more cringey and less fun.
I mean, how can he? You're the one that knows your system so you have to be the judge on whether TDD is appropriate or not for it, or for parts of it. He says as much in his talks on TDD and in his book. You have a brain, use it, don't expect him to think for you on systems he has no knowledge of.

Salesforce did this way before anyone else, during the actual pandemic.

M$FT has been quietly doing this for eons. It's just that they are good at doing this without laying off a massive number of people at a time. So for M$FT this layoff seems like it's about posturing and being "in line" with the market, which makes it even crappier than it really is.
Don't forget storage space. I don't know about the E-Transit in the fine article, but typically EVs are better at providing truck capacity at the ends of the vehicle because there are no ICE or fuel tank there. That sounds great for an RV.
I started buying UHDs (mostly Criterions) recently. I mostly don’t like owning too many things (and even buy most of my 4Ks on iTunes when they go on sale for $5) but for some films the extra quality is worth it (plus you can’t get the Criterions films in 4K anywhere else, and I like having the access to the features).

I always am wondering if I’ll regret it in 10 years when you may be able to stream super high bitrates, but as always, the future is uncertain anyways.
Meaningful change never comes without loss
I assume you're referring to studies like https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1715368115 that say publicly funded research has contributed to many major drugs. Yes that is true, but exactly how much is hard to quantify. If designing a new drug just required mooching off existing research the return on investment for making a new drug wouldn't be so high -- there is a reason every week small cap pharmaceutical companies on the NASDAQ either 10x or go to zero because of a drug approval/rejection. They are taking an enormous amount of risk! The average drug that gets approved cost a billion dollars to make.

And I can find studies like: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/57126

> In 2019, the pharmaceutical industry spent $83 billion dollars on R&D. Adjusted for inflation, that amount is about 10 times what the industry spent per year in the 1980s.

Point-of-care ultrasound in the Western world is a hot trend.

There’s the idea that clinicians can use this tool to aid in diagnosis as an extension of the physical exam (e.g. I’m worried this patient might have a kidney stone, let me slap the ultrasound on their back and check).

The pitch has been that it would increase throughout and alleviate the strain on radiology departments giving us and our sonographers more time to do more complex imaging studies.

In practice, the training and skill of clinicians ranges from borderline negligent to amazing, leaning more towards the lower end. Given this heterogeneity, it is still yet to be accepted as a true diagnostic test in many places where a radiology department exists so the purported benefits aren’t being realized.

Ultrasound is harder than it looks, and unfortunately a lot of physicians just took a weekend course to get certified. In the hands of an adequately trained physician, I feel it’s very safe for clinicians to perform basic scans and that it would safely expedite patient care while alleviating burden on radiology so overall benefiting the system more than a cost thing.
As I said, the app is built based on the feedback we got from our customers and for them including the metadata is something important.

One reason for unit tests is to know when you've won. For example ChatGPT is already a limited form of general AI, but makes some silly mistakes for certain kinds of thinking.

An example would be - oh wait, it just passed it, nevermind. (I wanted to quote a kind of numerical thinking test it fails at it but it just passed.)

If this had been a test previous GPT's failed at, but it was coded up in a unit test, then maybe more people would get it. At some point AI will just pass all the tests we throw at it. It would be nice to have a spreadsheet of tests to 1) know whether we're there 2) show people that we're there.
Funny. I just stumbled upon this yesterday. The only thing that I wish to see improved is having the backend serve the frontend from the same docker container. It's a bit of a hassle to use nginx as a proxy in the docker compose setup (or in fact set all of that up on my Synology NAS).

I do tend to think that the whole anti-police movement was by design, that is to say it was deliberately fanned by multinationals, media conglomerates, and the government. And it's because it's time to move our antiquated law enforcement mechanisms to the future. We don't really NEED police anymore - we have the technological capabilities to achieve law enforcement via pervasive surveillance analyzed by AI. It would probably be a much more efficient and effective system than fully human based enforcement. Apart from highly skilled individuals used for SWAT type stuff like hostage situations, I think the jobs of most cops could be outsourced to a bunch of security cameras and some programs running on the cloud.
I've unplugged as much as I can from both Windows and MacOS. I still have to carry a Mac because of Xcode (and mobile development), Affinity (for design) and from time to time, MS Office (usually to deal with some ancient VBA code). The daily driver is just an LG Gram with Kubuntu, and here's the difference:

Command line: Linux wins by a mile. GNU gettext has better tab completion (i.e. it will complete parameters and paths). If you work with Linux servers, it's nice to have the same directory structure... and while brew is nothing short of amazing, package management on Linux (deb, rpm, pacman, etc...) is still the best.

Design: A lot of tools have moved to the cloud (i.e. Figma and Canva are getting better) but pro grade design software like Affinity Designer (or Adobe stuff) is still the best, especially if print shops are involved. If Serif ports Affinity to Linux, I will buy it for every machine at my company just to say thanks.

Video: Davinci and OSB run extremely well on Linux so life is good :-)

Development: Honestly everything is better on Linux... but no Xcode, which is required to distribute to the App Store. Xcode is a nice IDE, but most of the work I do is in JetBrains IDE (GoLand, PyCharm, WebStorm... and occasionally C Lion).

On the hardware front, Apple still makes great hardware, but some of the PC manufacturers are making great machines, too (LG, Lenovo, Dell). I'm particularly happy with LG's Gram 17" which has a giant screen and is an ounce or so heavier than a 13" MacBook Air. The M1 and M2 are fast, but a modern i7 or better is plenty fast and you can get one with 32GB for cheap.

That only addresses part of the problem. Open source depends upon copyright in order to be enforceable. Copyright depends upon attribution. While I am confident that most (not all) open source authors would be happy if the license remains intact, what happens when someone infringes upon an open source license?

Always have local and offsite backup, so you can get to it quick when the laptop dies, but still have options when the house burns down. For me that is:

* Connect an external drive every few days for Time Machine to do it's magic. If I forget, it will remind me after a week or so.

* Continuous offsite backup using Backblaze. Really, they're great!

If you want continuous backup locally too, you could use a NAS for Time Machine to backup to instead of a simple drive.
