this seems like the kind of thing that gpt would potentially hallucinate something like "East Virginia" or "Ardakota" complete with abbreviation, and maybe that's fine with 50 states but you're playing with fire if it's something you can't immediately catch the mistake

also, how hard is it to get a list of abbreviations, and wrap them all in quote and comma and brackets. with vim that's barely more work than a copy-paste
But in my experience those who got VC funding failed at a higher rate than those that didn't.

A far better filter is "do you have enough revenue that you can afford to hire employees." Self-funded entrepreneurs pass that filter, whereas VC funded ones usually don't.

The article is about employees so we don't care about the entrepreneurs that fail before they hire anybody.
In the UK, there's the National Savings & Investment bank which is fully backed by the government. Any savings there aren't capped at 100k EUR (GBP equivalent) like other banks. This digital pound sounds a little bit like an extension of this imho.

That's nonsense. Different banks don't have direct access to one another. HMRC/IRS don't even have direct access to your bank.

Anyone who has ever tried reconciling separate accounts knows how hard it is. To have it all in one account, and therefore queryable from one single API, is an absolute step function in the direction of surveillance.

Just think about how taboo it is to ask someone how much they make/have, and think about why it's taboo. Financial information is some of the most private information there is. Before you know it, with all of it under one API (or in one account), Equifax will release a product gatekeeping access to this API to "verify" income or assets, but in a far more powerful way than they already do.
I'm sorry to hear that, it seems to me that failure has never been an option where you worked. How was it possible in your org to innovate if they don't embrace failures?
You appear to be ignoring the other 60% of that sentence that pointed to her work history, awards and degree. Although lesbian Jew has not traditionally been associated with being right wing, it's a big, inclusive tent these days (thankfully).

As for your second paragraph, there is quite a lot of mischaracterization of what she has actually said and weird correlation equals activism claims. You haven't put forth anything that refutes the educated, competent journalist with views you disagree with counter hypothesis to your right wing activist claim.

When Deus Ex imagined digital currencies back in 2000, they imagined a "credits" system, where these credits were backed by nothing and were simply numbers in a computer. BUT, critically, they existed independent of accounts or transactions. This enabled one to "load some credits" on a generic cube/card and use it for payments.

For a game that was so prophetic on all other aspects of ethics and AI and technological develoments that followed, particularly in terms of surveillance, a currency free from transaction-monitoring/intervention was a very big blind spot in their dystopian vision. I wonder if this simply never occurred to Sheldon Pacotti, or if he specifically believee we'd manage to somehow "liberate" money by then ...
Germany gets its gas natural gas from Norway now. It would be unlikely that the U.S. would attack the gas supplies of a major NATO ally. Especially when that ally has been less than enthusiastic in helping Ukraine.

One of the best non-comp sci courses I ever took was Business Communications. It taught me how to write clearly and to focus on essentials. The instructor was especially allergic to cliches, which is Orwell’s rule #1.

Writing for communication is an underrated skill and probably ranks up there with programming language/framework competence, career-wise. It’s crazy how many people fail to make their points concisely and comprehensively.
Err it really depends on what you're doing. Integer division and modulo is still not fast.
Thanks for the recommendation! I took precisely two useful things from Strunk & White ("avoid structuring a sentence so that two associated words or concepts are far apart - re-order so that they are close together" and "where possible, replace negations with standalone terms - 'short' instead of 'not tall'"), the rest was disappointing. The section on email made it clear how out-of-touch they were!
That's not meaningfully safer which is why it's still a panic in debug builds. It's really just kinda worse even. You can't use it as a programmer (because it panics) and the compiler can't use it even though you've already promised (and debug mode verified) that it never happens.
Yeah this is why I hate food stamps. You can literally go to any hood, walk in front of the grocery store, and there is a burgeoning black market for the stamps (actually EBT card). They function as (discounted) cash for people who want them to be cash.

Just give the cash to everyone instead of this ridiculous failed program with overhead to make sure it's just spent on food. Families actually spending it on food would have more money then because you could cut the overhead costs and pay it out to everyone.
You may not realize it, but frameworks and libraries are your enemy. Write something with minimal dependencies. Take a language you already know and think of a simple, fun thing to make from scratch (for an arbitrary definition of 'from scratch').

You rightfully complained about the complexity of JavaScript or C++, but you don't have to use the majority of the features. With minimal external dependencies and no other programmers in the mix, you can choose a subset of the language and just stick with that.

It sounds like C/C++ would be a good fit if doing low level things is fun for you. Javascript/HTML/Canvas is also not a bad choice per se, you just don't need externalities such as bundlers, wasmers, deployers, dependency managers.

Whichever environment you decide to go with, start with an empty directory. NO package managers, either. If you absolutely must use an external library, copy it in deliberately and manually.

See how few things you actually need to make something fun and worthwhile!
My vision for a "traditional" IC is someone who sits in front of a computer and writes computer programs. This kind of role ends at senior, or if you are lucky, staff. A principal engineer is much more likely to be in a meeting heavy environment, coordinating with many teams and driving alignment towards some vision. While this is not strictly managerial work, at least to me, it seems to fall much closer to "senior manager" than "software engineer".

Thats totally fine for folks who thrive in this kind of role. However, it does take away the ability to grow your career if you want to keep developing software. So for example, if you program for 20 years, and keep improving during this time, you would expect to be rewarded with some career progression for the progress you've made in years 10 - 20.

But as it stands, these days, if you run into someone who has been programming for 20 years, you can assume their career has mostly stagnated, and might even count them off as a low performer because they failed to grow. So it's almost a self fulfilling prophecy - staying a "true" IC has no growth, and therefore there is an incentive to just sit back and stop growing.
It's pretty clear we all these days live in different bubbles, of what is "widely known current events".

Googling, it looks like it was $3 million, not $30 million, for data requested with court order for such, rather than for suppressing speech or other control? It was still the FBI, not the CIA? This one?

Yes, I legitimately didn't know what the GP I was replying to was suggesting that the CIA controlled, what "them" meant. Now that they replied, I understand what they are suggesting, and think they are... living in a different bubble than me.

Is there a way to run it in WASM, to get something like Lunr[1]? We prefer to do our (small-index, <2MB) search client-side for a bunch of reasons, currently using Lunr.js, but it's a bit annoying and the typeahead search is something I improvised and not really official.

Decades ago intel put out a press about the amazing new tech their CPUs would have. 3 of 5 CPU manufactures gave up. By the time the tech actually arrived, AMD had it as well. The others would have been fine.

It's called, or at least very closely related to, the tragedy of the commons. It's a problem as old as society itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons
Kenny G and smooth jazz get a lot of hate, and most of it is from people who are hating on Kenny G as a kind of “etiquette” to mark that they’re in the right social group—same kind of thing you do by talking about your Prius or whatever other annoying thing people do to put themselves in the right group.

Smooth jazz and related genres like adult contemporary are easy targets here (maybe we can pick on Phil Collins next). People love to talk about how much they hate these genres. And then there’s all the people who say they listen to “everything but country and rap”, which is at this point a cliché.

It’s all just to show that you’re in the right social group, and less about whether you (personally) took a chance and listened to smooth jazz, then decided what your personal feelings are about it. We’re social creatures and it takes a ton of effort to give music, culture, or people a chance without trying to evaluate our choices through the lens of what is acceptable for our social in-group or the social in-group we aspire to.

Most people who “listen to everything” are just saying that because it’s the kind of sentiment that their social in-group values, and if you dig into the actual listening habits “listens to everything” you won’t find anything surprising or unusual.

Youtube semi-regularly screws up in ways that makes the creators fear for their channel and audience, and makes them evaluate alternatives. The "problem" is that youtube never really screws up on the content consumer side, so viewers have little reason to ever go to any of these altnernatives (unless it's paid bonus content on patreon).

Though I guess I could see some channels that are too heavily restricted on youtube using peertube as a repository of all videos, and youtube for the videos that youtube currently deems acceptable enough.

As much as I'm looking forward to 4, has GDExtension been stabilized / documented yet? I know there's the existing C++ example [1], but I really, really don't want to jump through a scons & C++ project simply to call a single native function in a DLL. You can do such a thing with GDNative, and I presume that it is possible in GDExtension as well, though it isn't obvious how to do so. This strikes me as a huge barrier to adoption, since GDNative is one of the big things that will be incompatible with 4.

He has not been convicted of any criminal wrongdoing, so I see no reason for him to be barred from his career.

What is the rational for preventing him from working in a lab anyway? Because women might work in that lab and he might try to have a sexual relationship with them? If so, then what sort of job do you think he should be allowed to have? Burger flipper? Sorry, women often work in McDonalds kitchens too, he might try to have a sexual relationship with them. Construction worker? Women work in construction. Destitute bum dying under a bridge? I suppose that's the only line of work you think suitable for him. Wanting him damned to such a fate without so much as a criminal conviction is simply abhorrent.

Breaking down Microsoft's latest Bing announcement
Google search has been going the way of Yahoo, Alta Vista, Excite, Hotbot... for a while. More junk results, more paid junk content, more work flow breaking changes, can't copy, copy a url returns a google nightmare soup url, etc...less and less customer friendly every day. It's time for a new king.

Been mostly using DDG but excited to start fooling around with the new Bing.

If you told 2013 me I would be binging in 2023 I would have not believed you.

Only thing i could think is targeting ancient browsers. I'm curious, do other UI languages not have quirks or edge cases to learn?
Someone made a 2023 game very similar to this called Genfanad
level = 0;
int32_t multiplier = 1;
for (size_t i = 0; i < raw_level.size(); i++) {
const size_t index = raw_level.size() - i - 1;
const int8_t digit_value = raw_level.at(index) - 48;
level += digit_value * multiplier;
multiplier *= 10;
}

eek. i've always done something like:

level = std::accumulate(raw_level.begin(), raw_level.end(), 0,
[](int a, int c) { return a * 10 + (c - '0') }
);

> I feel like Google is going to bleed credibility for every month that they don't have a lamda/llm enabled search integrated into the home page. You can talk all you want about the foundational models and how advanced they are, but the search product itself will require a ton of fine-tuning on real-world training data that they aren't collecting yet.

I love ChatGPT as a source of inspiration, but I don't think I'd want it alongside my search results. In particular, when I'm searching the web I want results with at least some degree of accuracy. I can't trust a single thing ChatGPT says to be true.

Admittedly, random websites can also be inaccurate, but at least I have strategies for assessing whether I trust a given source.

I'm a many year old programmer myself.

The one thing I'd say is: Let the project select your tools, not the reverse.

Take your time, select your tools and libraries... and it is amazing things just seem to come together. Not every problem will fall to what you know today.

Yes, there will be compromise, but step back, and ask yourself... just how thankful you'd be for any of these options 10+ years ago. If the answer is not... don't use that tool. But many times, what we face is really a plethora of great decisions, and we try to look for the best... not realizing it doesn't exist today, only in retrospect.
Most actual adult sites also blur themselves if not keep you out until you set a cookie too, and frankly this is much more appropriate. I don't want to be at work, looking for a picture of, say, a banana, and inadvertently getting... "creative" pictures.

Remember, everything is a dildo if you're brave enough.

I recently re-watched the first few seasons with my kids (who are now teens and were, beyond all expectations, absolutely riveted to the screen). I wholly agree with the "somewhat-Machiavellian" moniker regarding Sir Humphrey, but it is quite fun to watch the tables turn as the Minister (sometimes) gets the upper hand.

That episode, in particular, was hilarious and felt very, very much up to date, and highlighted (also to my kids) how people "in charge" and "scientifically correct" could be overwhelmed and undermined by those kinds of situations.

Honest question here: does anyone care about POSIX anymore? This isn't the 90's anymore. I don't think any of the major operating systems broadly in use today even claim to be compatible with it.

Now, ignoring the weird grammar of the article, I'm not sure what it's comparing considering it's looking at three different products each specifically claiming to support a different feature set. It's doubly confusing for Azure since they do have a CIFS/SMB offering as well as two different implementations of NFS and the author doesn't reveal which one he picked (of course samba won't map 1:1 to all features a *NIX system expects).

To me it looks like clickbait. The company behind this also pushed another marketing piece on the frontpage today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34706227
I don't think Google Corporate had any idea this was going on and that way more people were interested in it than normal and many were reporters and investors. It had a feel like a local Google dev group meeting which is informal. I stopped using Google Search months ago because it was totally unusable. For some things it's still good and I use search within Google Maps often.

I think this will make voice-based UI viable (finally!) which is great. It's going to definitely eat into traditional Google ad revenue since clicking around and "impressions" are going to go way down.

Is this even a debate? Do you need an analysis also showing that the UK was a colonial empire? The second bit is trivial, it was called the Russian Empire. The first bit is also trivial, they had colonies in North America, for example.

> I associate colonialism with the European conquerors of the world

Russia is (historically) a European country. It only has land in Asia because of imperialism and colonisation.

Congratulations to the Godot team for reaching this milestone. As someone who leads a team working on a game project using an old, custom engine we have a quiet desire to switch to a different engine. There is a temptation to consider investing in Godot over one of the other tried and true engines due to its leanness and open source nature but still feels like a gamble for a 3D project. I wish there were more people talking about their experience with Godot beyond a hobby level.

Hello!

> A quick question, are there any limits around number of separate indexes we can have with meilisearch?

Yes! In v1.0, about 180 indexes under Linux in the same instance[1]. The good news is that I'm personally working on lifting this limitation for v1.1 (planned to release in the beginning of April), which should be able to accommodate an unlimited number of indexes[2] (disk space permits, of course).

Note that having many indexes does have an impact on performance and will keep doing so even after v1.1.

> Or is there a better way to do this.

If it works for your use case, you can try using a single index (or a few indexes) with tenant tokens[3] for multitenancy.

Hope this helps :-)

The most popular ritual I've seen for celebrating failure is firing people. I can see a case for the company declaring bankruptcy being considered a ritual.

I'm trying to imagine a world where failure is seen as a good thing - it implies risks were taken, and without risk there is unlikely to be progress. I suppose AirBnB is a bit of a poster child for move fast and get sued later so that sort of fits.
