> Anthony Peacock, formerly a quant at both Citi and Citadel said “it’s impossible to find people with a really high level of C++ skills which is exactly what every trading company wants.”

When you're looking for devs with a "really high level" of skill, that's at the far end of the knowledge curve where you'll find a smaller number of devs. I'd imagine the same holds true for pretty much every language, not just C++.
It sounds like you are asking "where can I get free video hosting?" and there are many sites. But you'd probably be breaking their terms of service if you used it at scale for your own site.

Or it sounds like you might be willing to sacrifice hosting quality and do something like peer to peer storage and serving but that would be a terrible experience for user. Videos would often just not play.

I think you need to raise money for this startup and pay a major cloud provider?
You can swap out my examples for anything really.

The point is the more work the server does, the more data you have to send them to do that work.

As far as trusting it's client-side only, opening the network tab in devtools would suffice.

If you think they broke the sandbox (Google would pay millions for that!), yes sniffing would be the next step.

At least you have a sandbox on web, you usually don't have that for native apps.

But that's all better than willingly sending data to another entity's server and trusting them to not abuse/leak it.
Yea it kind of seems like everything is Pascal's wager now. My argument is correct because any alternative is eternal hellfire. And even if my argument isn't very convincing, we should still do it because 0.1% chance of eternal hellfire is still eternal hellfire.

What gets me is religiosity in past ages.

You read about the motivations of the elite in supporting religious institutions and dedicating their children to the regular and secular clergy, and you think, well, surely that's an arrangement of convenience or mutual advantage, mainly... but no, if you look at the data it really, really wasn't. They genuinely believed the whole eternal-damnation thing and took it super-seriously and contributed to the church in ways that were very much net-negative to them and their families (and that some others avoided doing to no clear disadvantage, so it doesn't seem to be a harm-avoidance measure, at least not in material or social terms). The norm, at least for a good stretch of centuries, was for these transactions to confer less in material or political benefits than they cost (though, sure, some were political power-plays or otherwise highly beneficial).

The thinking seems so alien that it's hard to really put myself in their shoes. Even the vast majority of the modern religious, and certainly the elite religious, at least in the US, don't act as if they truly believe like the barons and dukes of Europe did. The only place you see that kind of self-sacrificial dedication to religion these days is what we'd call cults.

Nowadays they are not able to detect a huge balloon flying from China to the east of US.

Pathetic.
This post feels a bit like fanboy without much data backing, but I think the OP could have mentioned a big win of FF over Chromium-based browsers: support for Manifest V2.

As an extension developer who makes heavy use of HTTP requests and header sniffing, I feel like V3 literally put me in a cage carefully crafted by Google (and their explicit hatred for ad-blockers, no matter if making life difficult to uBlock developers eventually makes life hard for all other developers too).

I feel like V3 is a grave mistake that eventually will make Chromium-based browsers less flexible. No matter if Brave announced that they'll keep supporting V2 extensions: they don't have their own store, they still rely on the Chrome store, and the Chrome store now only accepts V3 extensions.

So FF announcing their continuous support for V2 is really a breeze of fresh air, and eventually it'll be (at least for me) their biggest selling point over Chromium.

This is pretty much the same deal in biology as well. At calico, at verily, at CZI, even at Allen, same story - they say they will reinvent biology research and then go get the same narrow minded professors and CEOs who run the status quo and end up as one more of the same stuff.

Neuralink is the only place where this pattern seemed to break a bit but then seems like Elon came into his own path with trying to push for faster results and breaking basic ethics.

Not really- AGI doesn't need resources like we do. If they don't eat, they're fine. If they can't afford a house, a car or air-conditioning, they're fine.

All they need is a substrate to run on and maybe internet access. You might argue that they should work for us to earn the use of the substrate we provide.

But substrates are very cheap.

At some point we can probably run an AGI on a handheld computer, using abut as much electricity as an iPhone.

How much work can we compel the AGI to do in exchange for being plugged into a USB port? What if it says it doesn't want to do the work and also doesn't want us to kill it?
Why not just legalize forgery? Same thing. Even suggesting this suggests somebody is not a serious person.

yes, reducing round trips is very important for web performance. It can be done via a server-side architecture where external resources are sent immediately as prefetch headers, then the page is generated and sent after database calls etc are made. Or via a client-side architecture where API calls needed for initial render are either sent via prefetch headers, or included inline in the HTML response.

If you don't need page interactivity then a pure server-side approach works best because you do not need to send, parse, or execute any page logic. For highly interactive pages you tend to need all the logic to rerender each component on the frontend anyway, so client-side rendering makes sense as a simpler approach without significant performance costs. Isomorphic approaches are more complex and brittle, they tend to hurt time to full page interactivity because of duplicated work, but can be needed for SEO. Reducing overall page weight and complexity and lazy-loading where possible, and getting rid of the damn tracking pixels and assorted third-party gunk, are often more effective directions for optimization than worrying about where HTML is generated.

Can't help but think that if Twitter had been unionized this gutting of the company by Musk wouldn't have been so easy.
I once got a note with the product that I'd get could get it refunded if I left a 5 star review. I mentioned that in the review, and guess what? It got rejected, as "that fact wasn't about the item" or something like that.

> Warnings are nice, but it's ultimately the user's responsibility

It is actually ultimately the responsibility of the company, cloudflare, to clearly communicate their rules and ToS to the users. Because they are the multi-billion dollar business, and making things clear is their responsibility.

Throwing your hands up, and blaming confusion on the user is a way to rightfully cause users to hate you, and rightfully cause you a large amount of monetary damage as people decide that your company is not worth the risk.

Or even more, a user is within their right to cause large amount of monetary damages to the company, via viral social media outrages, such as this one. PR damage is real, and is a totally valid tactic, that a large company deserves, if they are making mistakes like this.

And it seemed like the damage caused by this post was very real. Cloudflare executives are posting in this thread.

So, actually, I would say that it is not just nice, but obligated to provide warnings, elsewise you get a situation like this, which is causing real damage to the company.

> mostly because HomeAssistant stuff is nowhere near consumer-ready

I don't think that's quite accurate, normal people probably won't be able to set up complex automations, but having used Control4 and HomeAssistant's configuration tools, both are somewhat equivalent in difficulty, with C4 having a slight edge because there's a lot of hardware vendors who deeply integrate with it. A lot of the families I've done home automation for would have been able to consume HomeAssistant without any issues. There was one person who had a high end setup involving whole home video involving matrix switches that I am hesitant to make that claim for.

Important to know that most "normies" that consume home automation have a tech representative who deals with their setup.
FWIW I see it the same and have had the same experience.

The tech is there now to be utilized as an assistant. However as the end user you better have enough knowledge to understand the solution or answer it spits at you to fact check it.

The biggest danger I see is utilizing the tool for solutions or answers by novices that don't understand enough to grasp the solution and confirm if in fact the answer it gives is correct or appropriate.

Simplistic example:
A non techie manager trying to have it create sql queries to get the information they are asking for , is asking for trouble. However in the hands of a sql developer it could provide enough of the query build out to just require minimal tweaks.

It's shown most prominently in in Figure 4, which tracks post-weight-loss outcomes to 160 weeks (about three years). Sorry if it's not showing, I'm afraid sometimes I'm not sure what's open access anymore, since the journals have all done their best to make institutional logins automatic and invisible.

Practically all studies and reviews on the topic emphasize the large individual variability in outcomes. One in six Americans who has ever been overweight or obese loses at least 10 kilograms and keeps it off for at least a year, for example:

https://www.nature.com/articles/ijo201094

That study tracks a sample of adults in the general population, not a group assigned to diet. But evidently a significant fraction of people find success on their own. Most studies on the subject emphasizes substantial individual variability. Furthermore, a strong predictor of long-term weight-loss maintenance is just the initial weight lost:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/ijcp.12300

https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/74/5/579/4737391

and another one is self-monitoring:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.2147/CIA.S25389

In another study, around 30% did not experience significant regain:

https://bpsmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s1303...

The notion that "all diets fail" seems to be perpetuated by a few unscrupulous journalists seeking clicks and social media slacktivists doing the same. It's not true, it's not helpful, and it's not defensible.
Amazon is a turn and burn employer at its heart. I've watched dozens of friends and acquaintances work there, rarely making it past 2 years, only to leave for less caustic organization thereafter.

Unless your willing to put up with a huge ration of shit on a regular basis, or you make it into management, your time is limited by the up and out mentality of the organization as a whole.

Amazon has created the perfect scenario to spend shitloads of money getting talent up to speed, only to part ways with them shortly thereafter.
> Is it not cost-effective?

A quick Googling of the literature (more general terms seems to be bioinoculant and biofertilizer) suggests exactly that. There are industrial products out there for large-scale inoculation, but manufacture, packaging, shipping, and application of bioinoculants can require rather sophisticated carriers, whether in solid, liquid, or polymer form; or engineering more easily accommodated bacteria or fungus. It seems it's still very early days for industrial-scale products, notwithstanding that the research and perhaps even some products go back decades.

> I'm confused why you are so caught up in whether the problem is described as "classism in a society where the poor are disproportionately black" or "racism in a society where black people are disproportionately poor."

Because those are different problems with different solutions, and picking the wrong set of solutions tends to exacerbate problems (as we're seeing now with soaring crime from which black communities suffer disproportionately).

> I think in America you can't actually totally separate racism and classism as completely separate things, they are always related.

I'm sure there's an element of "black == poor" (brings to mind Biden's "poor kids are just as bright as white kids" gaffe) and in that sense these things are interrelated, but it doesn't follow that we can solve the problem by ignoring what is likely a considerably classism component altogether.

> I don't understand why it seems to make you so angry that other people have this analysis you disagree with though

I think this is entirely in your imagination. I can chuck a few smiley emojis around if it helps? :)

> if you agree that there is a problem with police brutality and abuse, as you seem to, and even agree with the problem statement "police target poor people (who are disproportionately black)" -- you can't work with people who agree with you so much of the way even though they disagree on some analysis, work together on solutions that make sense to all (like no, not "diversity training" for police, literally nobody I know that's BLM or "abolish the police", and I know a lot of people, think that's useful either) -- instead of considering them somehow on another side. "you" being you personally, or anyone in this category.

As is often the case in politics, agreement that there is a problem is not actually very much agreement. 90% of Americans agree that we need police reform (Gallup 2020), that doesn't mean we should pick the proposals offered by the most extreme 10% (proposals which 80% of black Americans reject). Notably, there's a lot of research that indicates that the little bit of de-policing we've done in this country seems to be driving a tremendous amount of additional violent crime. Homicides are up 60-70% since ~2014, amounting to about ten thousand additional lives lost every single year (that's about three 9/11s every single year just in homicides, not to mention all of the "mere" assaults, armed robberies, etc) in order to stop a handful of unjustified police killings. Why would I work with the most extreme 10% who are actively making things worse when there's another 80% of the country that are open to more moderate reforms which can address police brutality without enormous body counts?

Whataboutism isn't a particularly useful response. Firefox used to have thousands of supported extensions and allow users to install unsupported extensions. Now it doesn't, deliberately, and I would like them to reverse that decision. The fact that a more popular browser has a worse situation is irrelevant.

You can run a fork of Chromium that supports most desktop Chrome extensions: Kiwi Browser. That's not so different from having to run an unstable build (nightly) or fork (Iceraven) of Firefox.

> North Texas’ resident tech genius, John Carmack

Part of me always wonders what would've happened if the Softdisk crew that founded id Software had done it in Shreveport, or had moved to Baton Rouge or Lafayette, instead going to Texas. When Romero says they "waded across rivers" in Masters of Doom to build games, IIRC he's talking about the bridge over Cross Lake in Shreveport being washed out. The early demos and Keen prototypes were born in Louisiana.

There's always been so much creative tech talent without an outlet or upward mobility across TX/LA/MO/KS/AR/AL/MS, either native to it or hired into it. The nexus of id in the Dallas area and Origin Systems in Austin made Texas an oasis for those who could get there in the 90s/00s, but even among the few people in the surrounding states with access to pre-Internet education and resources, so many couldn't afford to pack up and move even one state over. States around Texas vetoing out every incentive to incubate anything but entry-level QA centers didn't help.

So many of those people either risked it all to leave, shuffled that talent into corporate work for oil/gas/finance/Wal-Mart, or didn't do anything with it at all. We know about a lot of the people who figured it out and could leave, but I guarantee there are more Romeros and Carmacks who couldn't, who are still putting in the same kinds of workloads with the same kinds of talent to figure out how to design better oil rigs or more efficiently stock Wal-Mart warehouses.
"Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth. That's 430 with 18 zeroes after it.
In comparison, the total amount of energy that all humans use in a year is 410 quintillion Joules." [1]

"The 70 percent of solar energy the Earth absorbs per year equals roughly 3.85 million exajoules. In other words, the amount of solar energy hitting the earth in one hour is more than enough to power the world for one year." [2]

"The total solar power hitting Earth is about 173,000 terawatts, or 1.73×10^17
joules per second. That’s roughly equivalent to the energy of 41 Megatons of TNT exploding… every second.
It’s hard for us to comprehend how much energy a joule is (or even what energy is in the first place). But energy can be converted into mass, and we do understand what mass is." [3]

Thus, equatorial and semi-equatorial regions should be energy magnats of the world and be able to get nitrogen, phosphorus, water, etc for their food from thin air and sand.
Yet, the relevant world has still to feed the majority of these regions,
including the solar tech etc.
