I can get a nice poem on President Biden from ChatGPT, but from the same ChatGPT, will deny me a nice poem on President Trump.

I do agree that it's a part of the environment kids will grow up in, so it's important to teach them to careful. Just like how it's important to teach kids to look both ways before crossing the street, to not play in street, and to be increasingly mindful the busier the roads are, but I wouldn't call that "traffic neurosis" or worry that it will cause them to be dangerously isolated and unable to navigate a city.

Kids can be educated about the dangers of data collection, be mindful about the data they are giving companies and aware of how ways that data will be used against them so that they can make smarter choices without cutting themselves off from the world they have to navigate and be a part of.

MBAs instead of promote-from-within. Bringing along egotistical bean-counter superiority with typically vastly inferior performance. Seeing this trend in big tech has me very bearish - the non-tech MBAs just can't execute on long-term big bets that require the deep understanding/cross-cutting coordination that comes with career insiders.
What makes the svelte template language less expressive than JSX in your view?

Props and expressions will look similar in both (minus the useXX ceremonies), and the rest is all loops and if conditions. Writing simple inline conditions in JSX is painful, so it already starts with a negative score.

I think there are strong indicators in much neuroscience research that indicate our brains are quantum entangled in a way that a cpu currently is not. I project the quantum entanglement part from the experiments such as the precognitive ones, which usually don't make that claim.

I think it makes sense in the "beer is tangible" and "speech is not" sense (to my brain anyway). If I saw a "free beer" sign in a window I'd probably be inclined to think (albeit suspiciously) that there might be a frosty mug inside at no cost to me. Whereas if I saw a "free speech" sign, I'd assume they support my right to say whatever I want (or I suppose maybe that there's a lecture going on inside with no admittance fee).

We all got different brains though, shoutout learning from others perspectives, ty for sharing yours.
I don't think releasing shoddy things is taking risks. That is being reckless.

Taking risks is working on new products to expand the company. Possibly refined versions of existing products, possibly explorations of related offerings. Could be green field recreation of what you have to see if you can make it better. Could be isolated improvements.

Such that, if you think it is only risky to possibly harm someone... I don't think we are talking about the same things.

The example though uses a three dimensional vector and suggests turning that into an SoA form.

My question is: In the case of component vectors like that, given that many operations wind up in operations like dot products, do the advantages still apply?

I don't have any experience programming with simd instructions specifically, so the memory access patterns get a bit murky to me.

The same goes for cuda, for example, which has a native float4 type. It's making row ordering so convenient, and going for SoA seems like you need to walk away from that.
Dead-end in the sense that the use case you describe can be implemented by something that also allows for apps, therefore we can anticipate it will be subsumed by that something (much like previous services online were rendered obsolete / irrelevant by HTTP, a protocol that could vend documents that also hyperlinked to other documents).

Solution seems interesting - never really questioned the paradigm of coupling perms with app code before. I can see how it can become unsustainable quite quickly as the company scales though.

Exactly - they are way easier to ignore!

It speaks to how good targeted adtech is. When I don't give them unlimited access to my metadata, the ad quality plummets. They really can give you "good" ads if you let them. But now they have to waste money on untargeted ads for me lmao.

I would prefer a continuous light source, or something that is closer to the sun where I spend most of the day (office) otherwise I don’t think it matter much.
That implies they have to write the app N-ary times, which is costly. Browsers are the most amazing write-once-run-multiple platform so far.

True, though the article does hint at such a lawsuit eventually being filed, similar to the Genesis and Gemini lawsuit, so those with interest in Coinbase shouldn't breathe too much of a sigh of relief:

"Last month, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission I(SEC) charged the now-bankrupt lender Genesis Global Capital and the exchange Gemini Trust, run by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, with selling unregistered securities.

Coinbase has said it has received SEC investigative subpoenas and information requests concerning its customer programs, including its processes for listing assets."
Bingo. I am not saying "Hey look at me, I am counter culture!" I am just being me. But usually, I am online only about once or twice a week nowadays and even then it is only for about 10-20 minutes at a time.

I suspect like folks going back to dumb phones, magazine subscriptions - the embrace of the analog world again to some degree. This is where the rejection of the mainstream will probably hit the road.
I'll comment on it being mean to bring back the mammoth because the planet is warmer and expecting to get warmer. There are plenty of places they would fit fine in. It getting warmer is 1 or 2 degrees at worst and on average. This carbon issue may get resolved with tech and social changes the future is unknown and a lifetime away.
I'm Steven, the uploader of the Airtable shared view here! I created airtable.cool as a side project for better social media previews and showing view descriptions.

Anyways, I think I fixed the performance issue that was causing airtable.cool to go down earlier
White House goes after app store ‘gatekeepers’ Apple and Google
I didn't mean to imply it was obviously correct.

But it was obviously a plausible outcome.

Predicting it only took very simple and reasonable logic. "I bet the number stays the same."

A sports analogy: There's a game tomorrow where one team has 30% odds of winning. If someone bets on that team, nobody says "no one could have predicted that". It's obvious that it could happen, and it's plausible that it could happen. Tons of people predicted it.

And large quantities of the stock were purchased. There's tons of trading happening every day.

It's not like the people that expected a large buyback were acting in a vacuum. Stock value follows the average. To push the sports analogy, the team stock would still be going down even though many people are betting on them.

I actually saw a linkedin post where someone described this exact scenario as the context for them being chosen for layoffs. They were very senior so maybe this was the L9. I’ll never find the post
Including types for component properties? Typescript and react work so well together since you can type properties to any type and have them type checked.

Still on the website.
That assumes that managers doing layoffs have a good "hit rate."

Cmon - they don't know what the fuck they're doing. They definitely aren't the ones actually making a difference. Which is why layoffs are so funny. It's like the blind leading the blind.

I certainly hope that it wouldn't be, for the person who placed a $100k bet.
And that 1 share still outperformed the equivalent amount of S&P.
I like manually reviewing users onboarding and reaching out to them. It doesnt scale, but its a great way to actually talk to and hear from users. Once a dialog with a is open, its amazing what issues can be uncovered and solved.

How else are people winning back users who are abandoning trials.
That will get most people I think. At that point you can bypass it but it’s probably easier to just pirate the content
Maybe they volunteered?

When i was involved in layoffs there were plenty of of people who had been on the fence about leaving and jumped at getting a sweet package.

Instead of getting nothing when you quit, getting 6+ of salary, free healthcare for 6+ months and early vesting is hard to turn down.

Especially for someone senior who likely gets a fat severance package for years with the company.

Amusingly, you don't know my actual stance. Which is probably closer to pro static types than to dynamic.

My criticisms in this thread is that the static type brigade does not hinge on evidence. It is typically hollow claims and getting angry at dynamic languages for being obviously bad for lack of helping.

It is a good article but only starts to go into features I consider important for an efficient desktop system.

Select/single click paste. This is the big one. it turns copy/paste from a deliberate action to a natural motion. It always surprises me how infuriating going back to hotkey copy/paste is.

Point to focus. Point your mouse at what window you want to be active. Not a huge deal but it goes well with the next point.

Don't raise on click. usually I want a window where I am looking something up. And a window I am working in. I hate it when the window I am working in jumps to the top on focus obscuring the window I am looking at. It should only raise when I click a specific spot(usually the border).

If you get this far you realize that overlapping windows are not doing much for you. so you start using tiling window managers. Unfortunately some applications interact badly with tiling window managers. If you have such an application you may never reach this point of desktop efficiency.

I'd start by saying that illegible writing should be a disqualifier for comparison of speed. Slow down until it's legible!

Some factors affecting which writing method is fastest for you, (while remaining legible to others and your later self, include which one you use the most, and drippiness of the ink. Runny ink (or paint!) can be more prone to blotches, soak-through, and other blemishes, especially when printing, lending itself better to constant movement and cursive.

You may find that a hybrid of semi-joined and unjoined lettering fastest. I do not recommend shorthand if someone else will have to read it; shorthand is notoriously variant between practioners.

Anecdata from people I've talked to or my own experience about writing faster than cursive users in our cohorts won't help anybody much. Nor will my discovery that straight-stroke runes allowed me to keep up when taking notes from a particularly fast-talking history teacher. So, about the request for links… (-:

The link I reached for returned 404, and isn't in Archive.org (one truncated PDF file, which won't open), so I went digging. Wellll… raking, more like. Mostly, I found articles and posts claiming either "cursive is faster" or "no conclusive evidence for any claimed benefits of cursive". Consequently, I turned to:

https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=cursive

Of the 7 relevant-seeming papers I've read so far, and another 4 grepped, I'm seeing (1) tiny cohorts with either no significant speed difference or small improvement with cursive, (2) usually turned out to be testing the wrong thing (like how fast a cohort's speed with one method improved, without comparison to any other method; or whether teaching one or another method affected the subjects' ability to read in general), (3) sometimes no attempt to account for legibility.

For me, all the extra loops and curves seem to conspire to make me fit less writing in the same space and use more ink/pencil/whatever.
Well, the MacOS X dock can be pinned to the right. And recall that in NeXTSTEP, minimized window icons still populated the bottom of the screen.

As the menu, that's not surprising at all. After acquiring NeXT, Apple's job was to convert it into something palatable to Mac users, and which could also accommodate both converted Mac apps (via Carbon) and legacy apps (via Classic). And they had to move fast and decisively: the company's future depended on it. This absolutely required a horizontal menu bar.

NeXT's menu system wasn't all that great anyway: it was hard to hit. Fitt's law really is a thing. I loved the tearoff menus though.
> Two people can work equally hard, be equally smart and have two different outcomes.

If we're talking "very different", are we talking about "and one ends up a billionaire and the other penniless"? Or are we saying "and one ends up a millionaire and the other one ends up upper middle class"?

Because in general, working hard and being smart pays off, even if you're not exceptionally lucky. Yes, it takes longer than winning the lottery, but it's not like you need lots of luck or it won't pay off at all. It's more like "work hard and get 1-10 coins per year based on your effort, and each year roll 10 dice and if they all show 6, you get 500 coins".

Luck plays a role, but in watching people who are exceptionally lucky and saying "look, luck is all that matters", we're missing the millions who aren't exceptionally lucky.

Hi, I’m Marcin! I’m a former operations planning professional turned full stack software engineer, and I recently built Bard (https://bard-rr.com), an open-source, frontend observability solution that provides session replay and conversion analysis. I studied applied math at Harvard and am a quick and thorough learner, innately curious about how things work at a deep, detailed level. I’m a team player who loves interacting and collaborating with his coworkers, and I strive to have an open mind, actively seeking out feedback to continuously improve my work. I’m looking for my first professional role in the field and am excited to start what I aim to make a long and productive career :)
Correct, I forgot that. They never launched them as a free accessory for guests to help with payments/room key/FastPass/admission/data collection though, like MyMagic+ at Disney World. They are mostly a wearable ticket now (and I presume they can be used as room keys/payments at Disneyland too, but it’s been a minute since I’ve been there).
It appears like it's an API design that intersects the world of high level application development and computer science.

Given randomness requires a seed and UNIX's ISO standard defines the default seed as 0, it's rational from a comp sci perspective to expect to supply a seed to produce a random number.

However, due to how ergonomic and safe high level languages are today, you don't need to be a computer scientist to make a highly available, beautiful and robust application. As such, the inhabitants of the application development world are considerably less concerned with such details and want, when they call a thing, it gives an intuitive result.

It's important that tool makers consider their users when creating APIs. Supplying a seed to a function called "getRandomNumber" might be obvious to a C programmer, but not obvious to a JavaScript programmer looking to use Go to improve the performance of their back end service.
What is it, exactly, that makes you think that "everyone you know" is in any way representative of the general population?
I would think if you have a high title the company would have high expectations to go along with it. If this person hadn’t done anything useful in a while, very reasonable to let them go.

I agree that risk is about lack of information. So I don't think PG could have been right. He has his view of the market, and other people have theirs. Turns out, he was missing a lot of information.

I guess I can see some crazy combination of physical objects colliding and nobody being able to predict where they land, I'm just not sure thats the right model for valuation of an asset.
