I've been the first engineer hired after YC (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/smartpath) but I'm most impactful as a people leader. Technical enough to be dangerous, but also empathetic enough to explain technical concepts to laypeople.
I'd like to assume that too, frankly. But I actually think it's slightly more complex. I've got CPU time to spare, as it is, and Factorio gets a solid 60 UPS. (I.e., the game simulation proceeds without lag¹.) It's the FPS that isn't there, and I think it's mostly constrained on GPU time…? But I'm really not entirely sure where the bottleneck is. (I also don't think the NVIDIA reports Discord as being on the GPU, too, so … IDK. 20 FPS is a stark, hard to miss difference.)

¹(usually…)
Really confused by this statement. I think queer culture can be countercultural depending. For example legislation is currently up in some states to ban dressing in a way outside your sex because drag queens exist, but even though drag queens have a tv show and a movie and stuff I'm sure it'll also probably scoop a butch lesbian or two or just a regular tomboy woman.
> I simply won't use a dedicated app for anything that can be done in a web browser.

In 2023, what app experience is still impossible to do in the browser?

The only things I can come up with are apps requiring access to outside hardware or files. There are now several entirely unique ways in which a AAA gaming experience could be delivered to a client browser. If we can ship resident evil frames to a Chromebook at 30+fps, is there anything we can't do?
Really like the look of this based off images. Just downloaded on iOS and going to give it a try during my lunch. I've pretty much refused to play Sudoku on my phone due to the reasons you've listed. They all seem to have either massively intrusive ads, or they are ridiculously over designed. I'm looking forward to trying this out!

> We keep saying missiles are great and dogfighting is over, and we keep being proven wrong.

My understanding is that the "dogfighting is over" rhetoric stopped being proven wrong during the Iran-Iraq war, when Iraqi fighters started mysteriously exploding in the sky during operations.
>Google has more of a history of this, but even there it’s not core to their strategy—they might be harming SMTP but they’re not going to kill it[...]

Well, did you have an email server for your family, friends, and your small business? And someday your friend or customer using it reported that there's no incoming mail from Google nor their email to Gmail addresses aren't delivered. You check the reason and see that for Google - "because they fight spam" - your IP address seems to have a reputation not good enough for accepting email from your server.
No discussion, no reason revealed, no way to appeal, no human on the other side, and nothing can be done. Of course, you can outsource mail delivery to one of the big email operators - big enough that Google doesn't try to block them even if they allow for spamming.

This way the very idea of email as a common, freely available service is strangled step by step for years.
The F-22's thrust vectoring and related avionics and controls are unparalleled, and its stealth is supposedly much better.
Out of curiosity:

1. What software would you want to run that used 286-style segmentation in a 64 bit space? That model had been abandoned long before AMD wrote the x86_64 spec.

2. What 386 protected mode (or unreal mode too, I guess) software are you needing to run such that you wouldn't buy a 64-bit-only CPU? Again, this has been entirely abandoned (with the sole exception of the SMP boot mechanism, which is defined to start in real mode) on modern systems, even at the firmware level.
Sound like incels, not chads by choice.
We may live in a society without a counterculture. We have many, but not one dominant one.
> I know it feels good to imagine otherwise but Russia is objectively ahead (at the moment) in terms of ballistics and air defense.

What do you mean “ballistics”? Ballistic missiles? If so, then, sure, Russia has much longer range conventional SRBMs than the US (though that should change this year, with the PrSM coming online), which has largely (until comparatively recently) focused on manned aircraft abd cruise rather than ballistic missiles for the same use.

> But stand-off ballistics and drones are now better bang for the buck.

In the specific tacrical environment of the Ukraine war, they may be, given the inability of either side to achieve reliable air superiority. Certainly, as terror weapons against civilian populations it is true.

More generally, that's less clear.
There's, uh, a large middle ground between "no humans, zero impact" and "so much impact that we're altering global weather patterns".

We must only do what is absolutely critical to get benefit. The developed world will have to help the rest with technology but IMO the developing world should not be sitting there waiting for help.

A lot of the money is going to have to be spent in the first world ... first to get the technology down in cost but there are existing technologies that developing countries can use now and it should be in their budgets instead of paying for their oversized army or paying ghost salaries to government workers who are all relatives of the minister. I mean these countries will need to act with a discipline and honesty that they are unaccustomed to. We need to get their populations worked up to demand it. (I am from Zimbabwe which is why this bugs me)

To pretend that some people are going to entirely take care of others is demotivating and wrong. Most of us are going to have to take strain.

We are also going to have to de-emphasise NIMBY and other concerns that aren't absolutely critical that might block our investments in clean energy.
Netlify acquires Gatsby
I’ve been in this racket for a decade now. I change jobs every 18 months give or take. I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs over my career. I can count on my hands how many actually did click the link to my personal projects showcase (not a link to my GH although it’s also there, but an actual page in my website presenting the projects and linking to the code) and wanted to talk about any of the ten or so featured projects.

It’s a very very good filter for better culture (according to my personal criteria anyway), but it’s exceedingly rare as to be insignificant.

If you want a job you’re better off doing a couple projects if you’re a junior and then spending your time learning todays new hot framework + buzzwords instead of actual projects. If you’re more senior don’t even bother (unless you want to)

How so? I have an equation that makes a number:

y = 2x + 3

And I have

(x,y) = (1,5)

I'm saying the y = 2x + 3 is the ONLY thing stored in memory. The (1,5) is not stored anywhere.

(1,5) is training data. y=2x+3 is the model. This makes sense.

Hello, my name is Pete Ketcham and I’m an application support / SRE manager with 16 years of experience, 7 of which managing teams and am interested in full-time work managing SRE or DevOps teams, writing Python, and setup better monitoring and automation everywhere I can.
"GitHub doesn't allow you to make a public fork of a private repo, either. "

where did I claim something like that?
Basic human physiological needs did not change a lot since the 1800s.
I really have a love hate relationship with discord and I feel like it is a prime example of an application that should be "simple" but just seems far more complicated than it should be.

Currently my biggest annoyance is for some reason every time I start a game, it also tries to access my Camera. Some people online are saying that it is because my webcam has a mic... but why is it trying to access my mic when I launch a game and discord is just sitting in the background?!?

But at the same time I have a lot of friends and groups I game with on it, sometimes in voice chat. The convenience of it is really nice.
These decline stories are universal, and probably no more true than 400 years ago: I am French and live in Hong Kong, do you think decline is not what everyone is talking about in BOTH places ? What is a place not in decline in the eyes of its inhabitants ?

It says more about how we view the past than how the present is: we remember only the glorious good times, and forget nobody could read 200 years ago, or nobody could eat 400 years ago. They all said they were in decline, the values of their grandfathers diluted by a constant change.

But while I sit on my toilets, on the 44th floor of my hyper tower, writing to americans in a language nobody in my ascending family can speak, before tucking my trilingual kid to bed, well, I think the decline isn't so bad, if you zoom out a few decades.
> Don’t they have the capacity to produce something of their own?

Not really, and even if they did, it might not be worth the effort. Instead they got a super attractive technology transfer deal from SAAB.
This is a real question: what are Slack huddles supposed to do? I run the native client. While anyone can start a huddle with me, I never see any UI for a huddle. All I get is the audio coming across. To end the huddle I have to force stop Slack and relaunch it.
>Shouldn't we start by preventing further extinctions

Should we? Extinctions happen for a reason and open up niches for innovation (new species.) Why prevent this?
Olo | Remote (US) (HQ in NYC) | Full-Time | https://www.olo.com/

Olo is a leading on-demand commerce platform powering the restaurant industry’s digital transformation. Our customers include Shake Shack, Panda Express, and Jimmy Johns, and we have a lot of exciting projects in the works.

We're hiring for a ton of remote (US-based) roles (see https://jobs.lever.co/olo?lever-via=WSee4m3bRz), including a database reliability engineer, Node.js engineers, a Director of Engineering, and more! Each position includes salary info and great benefits, including 20 days PTO, 10 sick days, quarterly mental health days, and fully paid insurance premiums.
I wonder how many new species come about as well?
It also categorically doesn't apply to an algorithm we do not believe is conscious. To be a *cel, one has to feel they are treated unfairly.
Over-fitting is a known problem and deliberately avoided. This does not prevent the curve from intersecting an actual training set.

I mean technically, if there are many copies of the same data set pair, THEN you can call it over-fitting. But removing that does not fully remove the problem. The curve will still intersect datapoints EVEN without over fitting.

Also over-fitting is not memorization.
Wow thank you sir for introducing me to these Jems. See no algorithm will come close to understanding such intricate cultural details.
if it's Windows, it's probably Software Reporter Tool (not part of Chrome on Mac or Linux?) which looks like it sits there, running and eating disk performance after starting and sitting idle on one about:blank tab. [edit: only extension I have installed in Chrome is Google Docs Offline. Software Reporter Tool is the same as the "Cleanup" tool/malware scanner noted by id_404 in this thread.]

Open Task Manager, expand the Chrome task and look towards the bottom, and Disk column.
MasterCard and Visa as long as keep their moat, they don't need to innovate. Big companies like that will not innovate enough to make fees low. Yearly operating expenses of VISA as a company is nearly $10B with a net income of almost $15B. Not hard to make the math how fees just make the income and moat bigger.
The key observation about HTML templates is that usually large portions of them don't change with new data. There is static content, and even with lots of dynamic bindings they're tied together in a static structure.

So the vdom approach of processing all the static parts of a template during a diff is just extremely wasteful, especially for fairly common cases like conditionally rendering a node before some static content.

Ideally you already know what changed, and can just update the parts of the template that depend on it. In JS that typically requires a compiler, complexity, and custom semantics (like Solid). But you can get very, very close to that ideal with plain JS syntax and semantics by capturing the static strings and the dynamic values separately then only comparing the dynamic values on updates.

This is what we do with lit-html and why I think tagged template literals are nearly perfect for HTML templates.

With tagged template literals, an expression like:

html`<h1>Hello ${name}!</h1>`

is passed to the `html` tag function as an array of strings `['<h1>Hello ', '!</h1>']` and an array of values: `[name]`, and the strings array is the same every time you evaluate the expression, so you can compare it against the previous template and only update the values in the DOM if it's the same.

It's a really efficient way to render and update DOM with a pretty simple conceptual model that requires no compiler at all - it's all runtime. I think it's straightforward and powerful enough to be standardized at some point too.

Of course smart is a vague term and it's not one that can be precisely defined or measured. However, let's consider the question,

Can a mentally disabled person learn college algebra?

The answer is yes or no, or some can but others can't. Within the context of college algebra and considering no other areas is it safe to say that some people are smarter than others? I think clearly the answer is yes. Of course a person not smart in college algebra might have genius level talent in programming, writing, art, or some other area.

I'm smarter than the vast majority of people in the world when it comes to mathematics but am completely useless when it comes to engineering, art, writing, physics, and other areas. Saying one is bad at college algebra is not a denigration, it is an assertion of fact and not in any way a determinant on one's worthiness.

I teach mathematics at a university. A large majority of my colleagues think that everyone is equally capable of learning college algebra. I think they are wrong. I think it is obvious they are wrong. They think any assertion that some people college algebra must be rooted in racism or other terrible biases that one has.

Academicians ought not dogmatically cling to notions that are easily disprovable. Namely, it is clear that some people - mentally disabled for instance - can't learn college algebra. We should not shy away from confronting uncomfortable truths.
are there good resources for non-technical roles too?
I've never read or written a cover letter and I have a single-page resume.

I've got two sentences at the top of my resume explaining who I am and what I do.

I use much more flowery language but I basically say:

I'm team lead.
I care about communication.
I want to know your business and customers.
I want to work with stakeholders and help them solve problems.

The rest of my resume backs this up. And at the bottom, I describe all of the business skills I learned over 4 years of running a furry convention. It's written just like all of the other jobs.

It's worked pretty well for me. I don't get calls from people who dislike furries and the first two sentences got me my current job.

If true, this makes so much more sense and is in line with whatever else we know of Einstein’s genius.

If not, it sounds like resume padding by someone who wanted to make Einstein seem even more impressive than he is.
Janky scrolling isn’t part of material design. It’s all about the crappy UX of Android Mastadon clients. Features aren’t lacking. Polish and craftsmanship is.
That’s totally reasonable, you never know how petty your employer can get if they know you’re interviewing.

Interestingly, Aldi in the US used to only take debit cards, and changed to accepting credit cards a few years ago.
Technology has greatly though, which is what the comment implies.
To your point on reputation: Didn't Meta recently unpublish a LLM after it was shown to hallucinate wrong answers? Smaller AI companies would have stuck to their guns, but Meta has internal controls to guard against damaging the "brand". IIRC, the tweet announcing the retraction was particularly salty,<speculation> sounded like someone whose hand was forced</speculation>

Do you have some courses you recommend?
Depending on where you are and what/when you work you might not be able to "just go outside" at that specific time.
Let me give you an example of what I meant by the parent. I asked ChatGPT, if there is any research area where Clifford Algebras and Expander graphs are related in any manner. It mentioned something about error-correcting codes. I verified it and sure enough there was a mathoveflow post about it.
The fixed costs of public transport options, given the significant investment of public money that they tend to represent, are not zero either. The marginal cost of a journey is far more salient to whether a given option is preferable to any given person. Traffic jams are an extremely variable issue and I would argue are directly analogous to being crammed onto a delayed train with a thousand other people who can barely move - that is, essentially a rush hour problem that is more about throughput and the madness of commuting than it is about any particular specific form of transport.

Also note that your other examples violate my overarching point which is that they're about externalities. They don't represent advantages to the users' near term needs/desires, and in the case of my personal feelings about cyclists are actively in opposition, so they're almost always going to be fighting an uphill battle for mass acceptance.
Currently that reason is us. We are destroying habitats faster than species can adapt.

The "why" is to preserve working ecosystems and biodiversity.
Do you have benchmarks showing that it is worthwhile?

Anyway, another idea is to ditch the entire DOM and render on the canvas.
