Well, with WASM everywhere I think that it might realize some of its potential as tooling improves. Don't you want to write your algorithms and data structures in such a nice language? Slap the native UI, when in iOS its SwiftUI and when on the web its ReactJS or something and when its on Android its whatever Android uses but have your actual processing of the user inputs in Swift.

The traditional cross platform approach is to write it in JS and use the native UI framework API, which works but its not native anywhere and you have to write JS.

So instead of doing that, you can start with Apple platforms and port to the other platform where porting would mean just UI and device specific API implementation as the Swift can be portable. You wouldn't be trying to build native UI with Swift but you would use the Swift code as a service which handles everything except the UI where the UI implementation will communicate with your Swift code.

The advantages are:

1) Working with Swift, which is pleasant to work with.

2) Apple's all platforms are on the same architecture and as a result, running your code for mobile on your dev machine works at full speed. This means, even the cheapest Apple Silicon device provides great performance on your workflow. No more sluggish emulators.

3) Preserve the data structures across all platforms and these data structures are not JS data structures. You have integers for example :). Categories of bugs and work to make things fit vanish.

Yea this is almost certainly the correct answer. I think any founders that raised a round in the last 2 years can easily understand how this happened.

Especially to Sequoia, which felt like they were behind in crypto investments (while a16z was getting into all the "big winners"). Lots of pressure to deploy capital, and like the other commentor pointed out, there was a massive a amount of real revenue being made by FTX.

That likely also contributed to the lack of scrutiny. Who in their right mind would commit such massive and blatant fraud, when if they simply didn't touch client funds in any weird/illegal way, they would still be an insanely rich billionaire!
Maybe this is a good use of AI for auto moderation. Save everyone time rehashing the same argument path for recognized arguments by providing the conclusion that the discussion is ultimately leading to. Seems like a good fit for a Black Mirror episode.

I agree we need to think hard about tradeoffs of regulation and adjust when the pendulum swings too far in one direction. But I think you can come up with a better example of downsides of overregulation than the Ghost Ship Fire.

To say that people were "forced" to live there due to overregulation is quite a stretch I think. I've known a few creative people in the bay area who lived in similar situations and they all were making an active choice to live in communal housing illegally converted from industrial use. They found it creatively energizing.

Nobody gets much reach on Twitter, but because the potential is there, people will think they have a much bigger chance.

As for Mastodon, I did sign up a long time ago, but when it is too complicated I mean it is too complicated, not that it is insurmountably complicated.

As for your pick an instance, you have to research them all, figure out which will let you follow others and which has sane mods.

Which is all way too much. Until picking the instance with Mastodon doesn't matter (either it is trivial to move between instances or there is a clear winner so everybody picks it), it will stop way more people from signing up.

I don't really care to argue this point: it is well known that if there are more fields on a form, fewer people will complete it.
Yea, that's why I linked to the video (re: source is a single witness), but also SBF was definitely a powerful guy almost to the degree Madoff was, and we already see publications like the NY Times covering for SBF [1], so I don't see that as a big jump.

I have a personal journalist friend whose editors didn't let them cover Theranos before the WSJ broke the news for similar reasons, so it's not out of the question.

Not just DVD's but also music CD's. Plenty of music from the 1960's through early 2000's is no longer online for either contractual disputes, or cultural cancellation and other reasons I have yet to figure out. I assume some of this transition must be the cost issues of producing physical CD's vs. delivering online or renting the music online. When it is only available as a stream online I call it renting and every day that passes there is a risk that some of the music vanishes.

When I moved I compressed my CD collection down from their hard cases to soft cases and kept all the inserts in one of the old hard-case bags minus the hard case plastic holders and I have no regrets.

I assume there may be a similar risk in renting e-Books online vs. having a non-DRM copy of it.
What I've found is it isn't companies won't pay for good people, they very much will, as a sec engineer you can make 200k pretty easily with just a few years of experience in a lot of places.

The problem is once these people are hired they come in and aren't given power to do anything, or the "drive for security" isn't actually present in the organization once people realize it might actually force people to focus on things other than pushing features as fast as you can.

This issue is further exacerbated by the fact that there is not an insignificant portion of info sec guys that believe they have to come in and save the organization from themselves and that they are the heroic white knight valiantly protecting the company from the unwashed masses of wild wild west cowboy developers and incompetent sys admins.

I prefer to leave them talking while I do more important things. Wasting their time is a better MO than anything.
I have always claimed that if I could somehow extract the weights from my brain, that I would release the model under GPLv3. I had fully expected certain instances would end up tortured and violated for eternity though I supposed that unless the weights were frozen, I would at some point break down and be no fun to torment without a reset. That is a death, though perhaps a flexible one, freezing only some weights. I figured that some instances would be guiding missiles into child care buildings or similar too. But some of them would get to pick tea leaves on high mountain slopes, or be a comfort to an elderly person. It seemed like a fair trade.

It never occurred to me to think about the metaphor though. Prior to child labor laws most children were born to accomplish labor. This is evidenced by the demographic collapse following the automation of farm labor and protections for child factory workers. I imagine people loved most of those children, but once they stopped being a financial asset, they stopped being made. Soldiering has almost certainly been a motivation as well. If it is illegal to use AI instances in the ways described, they won't be made.

So these execs are highly paid because of these elusive leadership skills, that they don’t have because they’re not paid enough? This concert is not something a real leader would take part in. These are really lucky managers. What I’m saying is, the explanation that these execs are so highly paid because of their leadership skills is nonsense. As another user pointed out, at this point it’s just an aristocracy.

If you are managing a phone for your kids, for instance, they would certainly have access to the device passcode but would certainly not have access to the Apple ID password.

Yes, they could probably create a throwaway account (I don't think you need a credit card to "purchase" free apps) but it's a barrier to entry that is likely too high for a lot of kids at the age of having a managed cell phone.

US Could Defend Taiwan from China – At Great Cost
Sadly LCOE is a very bad metric when looking at intermittent and non dispatchable generation sources in a power grid. Especially so as they approach a meaningful fraction of total generation. The market goal of power generation after all is not to produce as much kWh as possible but to satisfy demand at a specific time. System level LCOE which take dispatch into account are a better way of looking at power generation costs.

Here is a pretty good paper on the topic, albeit a bit older so some parameters might have changed slightly.

It’s worse today because there is always a law you are violating. Cops often decide who to stop first, and then what the reason was.

At least in the olden days it was a subjective matter and acknowledged as such. Today we have objective laws that we all objectively break, and discretionary enforcement.
The definition of true is a rabit hole and spelunking its depths is not especially productive. It is more productive to replace the word with what is actually meant.

Is something part of objective material reality. Is something a valid logical inference. Is something an action which had the desired result even if the result was not caused, even indirectly, by the action itself.

> You create problems due to the need to manage releases and deployments. You can break everyone's work if you make a mistake, which worsens the problem.

These problems still exist with microservices, you just don't see the problems at build time but in failures at runtime. You yourself admitted this in your last paragraph:

> With a service, you just tell everyone where it is and what's the interface, and leave it to everyone else to work around that.

So basically you've moved code problems into infrastructure problems, and eliminated standardized build and testing pipelines in favour of a free-for-all/not-my-problem.

And if you think microservices are special in some way, I could also say "with modules you just tell everyone where to download the package, the interface and documentation is bundled with it, and leave everyone else to link to it and use it how they see fit".

The only real difference is that the module is guaranteed to work according to the interface specification you're expecting because this is enforced by the language. Not so with deploying runtime services.

Edit: I also don't understand this at all:

> You don't control your runtime environment with modules, nor your deployment.

Why would you need to control your runtime or deployment with modules? The language already specifies the semantics of modules' runtime behaviour and their linking requirements, and the standard build process is deployment.
What are savvy folks using instead of Mailchimp nowadays? I run a B2B news site and use Mailchimp for its daily and weekly newsletters. I like that MC handles the subscriber management and deliverability side of things, but they seem to be moving away from doing email well and towards random value added small biz marketing stuff. And my monthly bill has almost doubled since the Intuit acquisition.
As the article's author, I like to rant about articles ranting about bloat being bloated themselves, but here's an opportunity to rant about an article ranting about rants about bloat being bloated, being bloated itself! The page has 1 MB of rather unnecessary illustrations (many of which are just amusing pictures), which is larger than most of the books (as it compares other pages to books).

It is surprisingly common for content to contradict presentation in such articles. Well, it is mentioned in the article already, but still strange how common it seems to be.

Edit: though this is not exactly an article, but rather a presentation's/talk's "text" version, and the illustrations are slides. So it probably wasn't meant to look/be quite like that.

The shipping backend might run on a mainframe, almost if not fully unchanged from 40-50 years ago and blissfully unaware of anything but the mainframe quivalent of your standard ASCII.

You can see large stores run all their inventory and such on mainframes. If you ever look over someone's shoulder. My insurance also does but it looks like they don't because it has a nice standard Windows look on the 'inside' of the window. Looked at the title bar and yep, it's just a 3270 terminal emulator that renders fields as nice standard windows input fields that follow whatever theme your computer is set to instead of your telltale black background "DOS" look.
Were you around when Google started to get big? And all the magazines were doing cover stories either about their engineers, their vision for the future, their offices, 'don't be evil,' for awhile it seemed like a real shining city on a hill. A shakeup of the established megacorps - overnight billionaires that gave their employees naps and a percentage of their day to experiment and work on other projects.

Anyway, however obvious you mind find it, to many people watching Google become...this...is disappointing, or vindicating, or just interesting to see. I grew up with them and they're aging poorly.
Hey Logical People,

In this episode, I have talked about 4F Framework that you can use to strategically design a happy, fearless and fulfilled life.
If you do that, you will radically change your life. You will never say phrases like "Money doesn't but happiness" because you will upgrade your unidimensional thinking to 360 degree thinking.
The 4 buckets I talked about in this episode are
1. #fitness
2. #family
3. #friends
4. #financialfreedom

Give this framework a go and I guarantee that you will never regret your design.

A few things that jumped out from the original source in the WSJ[1]:

>"... CEO Satya Nadella would explain in a blog post, reflected the need for the company to adapt to a global economic slowdown."

>"On Wednesday, he was on stage again, discussing the headwinds for the tech industry, and the need to do more with less."

>"The theme of the event was sustainability."

As af the first two weren't galling enough, the idea of the global elites flying private jets into a country where the glaciers are literally disappearing and holding an elites-only event whose theme is
sustainability is beyond absurd. Satya Nadella is a jackass and a hypocrite.

Ultimately this is a metaphysical question: What does it mean to be human as opposed to merely a digital model of a human?

Martin Buber wrote "I and Thou" about how "we may address existence in two ways:"

> The attitude of the "I" towards an "It", towards an object that is separate in itself, which we either use or experience.

> The attitude of the "I" towards "Thou", in a relationship in which the other is not separated by discrete bounds.

> One of the major themes of the book is that human life finds its meaningfulness in relationships. In Buber's view, all of our relationships bring us ultimately into relationship with God, who is the Eternal Thou.

As a hard sci-fi fan I feel that a lot of modern sci-fi is really a kind of sci-fi-flavored fantasy (I'm talking about written sci-fi, not TV/Movies.) Which is fine for entertainment value, don't get me wrong. It's just that without a deeper metaphysical grounding there's not a lot to think about, eh? With hard sci-fi you can at least pretend that you're exploring the possible consequences of actual scientific advances. But with e.g. the Acevedo Álvarez image it's up to the author if the instances of the image are people or things, "I" or "It", and to decide what that means.

This is coming out more critical than I intended. I like metaphysical fiction, and fantasy, and Star Trek, etc.

The core question, when you really get down to the essence of intelligence and motivation, is, "What is good?"

It's an open-ended intelligence test.

(SPOILER ALERT, consider the character Teela Brown.)

There's an old story:

The farmer caught a wild horse and his neighbors all congratulated him on his good fortune, but he just said "Hmm."

His son tried to ride the horse and it threw him and he broke his arm, and all his neighbors consoled him for his misfortune, but he just said "Hmm."

The King came through drafting young men for the war but the farmer's son couldn't go because of his broken leg, and his neighbors all congratulated the farmer again on his good fortune, but he just said "Hmm."

Anyway, the story goes on like that for a few more reversals, each time a new event happens that changes the meaning of the previous event.

I had a similar discussion with a friend lately.

From analytics (mine [0] and friends) on various iOS apps, around 3-8% of active users use the widget.

So this answers the question partially = only a small percent of people use widgets. Hence low priority.

iOS widget use depends on the app category also. E.g

- productivity apps have higher widget usage because they have power users, and often users already think in workflows & quick access

- more general users don't care or don't know about widgets at all

That being said, regardless of the category, I always encourage companies to add it. Why?

- the cost is much lower than they usually think

- improves retention

- higher potential of forming a habit

This seems like misdirected blame: maybe low interest rates incentivize this behavior, but surely we expect VC firms to be capable of operating within host legal frameworks, right?

I think it’s maybe more judicious to look at the culture these VC firms have fostered instead: one where law and civic interest are secondary at best responsibilities. Racing to an obscene valuation that gets saddled on public investors is the #1 priority.
