The bigger story is that Federal Reserve Interest rate policy is stimulating rather than slowing down the economy as desired. Higher interest rates is higher interest payments into the economy by the government which is the deficit spending. The problem with it is that its very regressive. So folks holding large amounts of cash are benefitting from the added interest income. In 100 years history will judge these guys as clueless buffoons. Hitting the accelerator pedal rather than the brakes.

When you complete your work - that's a big if - your company probably won't give a crap about the rest and will want to keep you.

If you keep barely completing fraction of your work, say 5% what you'd normally expect, it's a problem and looking at contract agreement where you agreed to work certain amount of hours for exchange of salary - that is not full-filled starts to matter.

Same way from PoV of employee it would not be fair if company would start to wire you fraction of agreed salary because they're also working with other developers at the same time and you just have to deal with it.
This particular level and visibility of sky writing is new, but "drawing things in the sky" dates back to the 1920s or so. That sort of skywriting uses oil to cause the airplane to leave a trail of white smoke, visible against the blue background of the sky.

The precision we see in this route is fairly new, but, especially on proving flights for new aircraft, which needed hours and hours of flight time and would take off and land at the same airport, and even before the public could see it on a website, filing flight plans that contained (much cruder) drawings of "747" or otherwise certainly exist.

Does windmill have any way of going into code, without it basically becoming "code in a input box". The developer first solution trigger.dev have here is really scratching a real problem. But as they say they are not for the easiest workflows. I'm really looking for something that is gui first but as a drop down to code when you want. But inline code editor, let me save it to a git repo or similar. And don't have globals aka zapiers inputData and output.

It is true that Svelte and React bundles will grow at different speeds as the app grows. Redundancy gets compressed in React library, but it just stays there in Svelte.

That said, since it is redundancy, I wonder if Svelte bundles are more gzippable (or at least, could be made so).
There are a lot of sibling comments that seem to be upset that two counter cultures could be both different from one another and the dominant culture. I really don't understand the gate keeping of what is and isn't a counter culture.

A culture is information collectively held across many minds. A counter culture is a culture with contradictory information to the dominant culture.

Location:

Remote: yes, or hybrid near Portland, Oregon

Willing to relocate: no

Technologies/Skills: PHP, JavaScript, DevOps, Drupal, CDN, Open Source Contributing, PeopleOps, Varnish, AWS

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elijahlynn/ && https://github.com/ElijahLynn

Email: elijah@elijahlynn.net

Salary range: 175K-200K

I'm looking to work on projects that are ideally Open Source and be on a team that also contributes back upstream to its dependencies both by opening issues, code and monetarily. I'm looking for a team that values pair programming and "default to open" for communication. I've been doing backend and devops for 10+ years in the enterprise (NBCUniversal & Red Hat) and government (VA.gov (AWS GovCloud)) space. I have many contributions upstream to open source projects including Drupal & Ansible.

I'm mostly doing DevOps right now but I may be considering a move up the stack to doing pure Front-end now. I built my blog (www.elijahlynn.net) in Gatsby (React) and have been doing HTML/CSS for 20+ years too, but rusty, but a quick learner. I'm probably not the best coder, but I ask a lot of questions and am always looking towards the quality solutions that have the least technical debt. I'm really good at cross-team collaboration and communicating overall, that is probably my strength that enables me to get things shipped and done.

Lastly, I am pretty interested in compassion-based therapy lately and want to eventually transition to being a therapist and opening a free trauma and chronic pain therapy center in the PDX/Portland area in the next 5-10 years. So a transition to a project around mental health would be really sweet!

Such reductivism in AI has been going on since Turing. The linguistic outputs that the test is measured in are a small subset of what human beings do, and a more recent subset at that, in evolutionary terms. Much of our intersubjective attunement to one another happens below the level of language (i.e. you know when your wife is cross or in a bad mood...). What's worse, is that we only have language, in the form of computer languages, with which to capture and describe the full extent of the mindedness of a human being in order to create an AI, yet language is a higher order phenomenon than the complete mind that we're looking to replicate.

But are you against constrained templating DSLs on principle, or just the specifics of how Svelte does it? I think the reason bad ideas take hold is because people are looking for guidance; constraints, if you will. In React that is offered through libraries, frameworks and best practices, but not all of those are good. Svelte has a lot more control of its ecosystem because the constraints are built in to a compiler. And as I said, I think it falls short in certain areas, but all in all I think those restrictions are a net win.

> OpenAI has the opportunity to become the next fundamental utility provider for society. In the same way everybody has a data plan to make their apps work, in the future everybody could have an OpenAI subscription to enable advanced capabilities across their apps.

I don't think so. An open source competitor is OpenAI's worst nightmare. We have seen this with Stable Diffusion against DALL-E 2. So if a free open-source version of GPT-4 comes around and it is better than GPT-4, then OpenAI's moat is gone.

There will always be competition and an open-source model will surely come on top, especially something like Stable Diffusion.

I don't think an OpenAI subscription and a AOL subscription is even the same thing or even comparable.

> In another incident, my restaurant bill included an automatic 20% "service fee"

Hm. This has been pretty common in larger cities for a while, mostly because the service staff actually need the tips to like not be literally homeless. I can see how this would be off-putting if you're not aware of the practice, though.

> It would have been more transparent to just make the food cost 20% more.

They don't do this because people misunderstand the total price or at least misperceive it.

> Finally, as a general observation, the move paying (and tipping) electronically makes me question if the waitstaff are getting 100% of these digital tips or the employer is keeping some/all of it.

I'm pretty sure there are tax/fraud implications if they call it a tip or service fee and then pocket the cash. But yeah it's not like wait staff typically have tons of negotiating power.
I won't touch upon most of the points (because those are highly situational), but I'll offer my opinion on the following:

>> By choosing an SPA. You must choose a dedicated static site hosting which is separate from your web application.

> No you don’t.

It is true that you typically don't have to do that: you can just package the built assets of your SPA into whatever serves the rest of it, provided that you don't mind a monolithic deployment. I've seen many applications like that, both in Java (Spring Boot), PHP (Laravel), Ruby (on Rails) and so on, it generally works okay.

However, I'll also say that it's pretty great to have two separate folders in your project: "back-end" and "front-end" (or separate repos altogether) and to be able to open those in different IDEs, as well as to be able to deploy them separately, especially if you want to create a new front end (say, migrating over from OLD_TECH to NEW_TECH while maintaining the old one in parallel) or something like that. Otherwise you have to mess around with excluded folders for your IDEs, or if you open everything in a single one everything kind of mushes together which can be annoying, and your build also cannot be parallelized as nicely, unless you separate the back end and front end compile steps from the package step, where you shove everything together.

Personally, having a container (or a different type of package) with Nginx/Apache/Caddy/... with all of the static assets and a separate one with the back end API feels like a really nice approach to me. In addition, your back end framework doesn't need a whole bunch of configuration to successfully serve the static assets and your back end access logs won't be as full of boring stuff. If you want to throw your SPA assets into an S3 bucket, or use one of the CDNs you can find online, that's fine, too. Whatever feels comfortable and manageable.

Now, whether SPA is a good fit for what you're trying to build in the first place, that's another story. Personally, I like the simplicity of server side rendering, but also like the self-contained nature and tooling/architectures behind SPAs (though personally I'm more of a Vue + Pinia person, than a React/Angular user, though they're passable too).
You know Meta has the best tech in terms of AI/ML right? They just need a new leadership focus to steer the company in the right direction. They literally have all the tools to lead in that area.
I'm using to prove that the allegation, that people are careful being 'out' as a Christian' exists, not to prove that the religious discrimination, which would be illegal, exists. Your point is that it couldn't possibly exist because you've never even heard of such a thing. I'm saying that it's entirely possible for it to exist, because everyone else seems to have heard of it to the point that a popular TV chose to lampoon it.

"if you think it is possible as if it is not, you are right"
My recommendation is to get rid of it. I put my docs in the repo with the code so we know who wrote it, when they wrote it, what version of the code was current when they wrote it and can easily back out changes if someone wrote something wrong.

I document everything in text, but have a tool that scans text and produces basic HTML with paragraphs and links to images.

That being said... maybe a tool that scans a collection of repos and indexes search terms would be really cool. Right now I can only search my current repo.

IMHO, I believe the problem with wikis is its easy to create a wiki page, but it's hard to figure out if you should remove a page. With the "docs in repo" approach, we're okay with removing docs since it's relatively easy to bring them back.

But you're right, they will be screaming at every pot-hole and speedbump that Twitter's infrastructure has. And who knows, maybe some of them wouldn't have happened if he had 7500 employees.

I doubt they'll topple Twitter anytime soon, though.

That being said, and in contrast to my comments in this thread, I think Twitter is and nearly always has been a doomed, shit platform, even amongst social media. I think it will continue its slow decline, like all the other social media.

When it topples, I think it'll be a societal shift, not something we can blame on Musk.

If you are interested in the genuine impacts and not a hyperbolic, emotionally charged discussion best left to pundits, then below are some areas I would suggest researching and conducting your own thought experiments. A good exercise is to pretend if you were a CTO presenting to the CEO the tradeoffs and risks in cost cutting.

- impact on reliability (sum across users for key metrics, not anecdotal evidence)

- systemic risk changes, measured using probability of a rare event

- feature velocity, volume of features, 'width' of features (how_many_bets x feature_surface_areas)

- the durability of systems engineered for reliability or "did we build systems that will survive if everyone leaves"

- revenue

- advertiser satisfaction with the technical platform

- impacts to internally maintained systems

- impact of loss of institutional knowledge

- impact of further attrition post-RIF

- compliance

- rate of progress vs competitors as an advertising platform

- rate of progress vs competitors in social media

- (related to above two) ability to maintain competitives advantages with reduced headcount

- probability of success for new revenue streams

why does ChatGPT plagiarize?

ChatGPT plagiarizes because it is a computer program that is programmed to copy sentences from other sources and paste them as its replies. The program does not truly understand what it is saying, so it sometimes repeats the same thing from other sources. Instead of making up its own sentences it just finds something similar from another source and copies it.

one thing ChatGPT cannot do ?
I'm a practicing Roman Catholic.

To your first point, pronouns and nicknames are not the same thing. Pronouns indicate that a man can become a woman or vise versa which is not what the Catechism teaches. Additionally, calling a cat cute if you don't care for them is lying which is a venial sin (meaning you probably won't be damned to Hell for it but one should confess if they sin regardless).

Catholics are called to Love (God is Love) and to love all sinners but hate the sins. We know that Church is a place for imperfect humans and thus we do seek to purify our souls with prayer, works of mercy and the Sacraments.

So with all the above in mind, we usually tend to avoid pronouns and refer to transgenders by their name instead. However, out of basic respect and good manners we can all call them what they want if they insist.

Jesus commands us that we must be known as his disciples by our love. Christian love begins with basic respect and good manners. Selfless love does not begin with requiring others to conform to our doctrine.

St. Paul said that he became all things for all people so that he may save some. We should do the same.
