I remember Google panicking about Facebook, shipping Google+ and telling the entire company that their annual bonuses would be tied exclusively to how well their work supported the success of Google+.
I think upon examination, the folks actually shipping things at those old dinosaurs are by and large unaffected by the constantly changing upper reaches of their org chart, which just becomes a drain on profits.

mentor them? help them find a better position? change managers? lots of things you can do before firing... also i think the word "protection" the previous commenter means is 'protection from random/mass firings/layoffs without cause' not firing for being lazy/sabotage etc

If you need a standard Webpack config that supports X, Y, and Z. There are tools that do this already much better than ChaptGPT (the Webpack CLI will do it for you).

If you need some esoteric config for your highly custom setup, I highly doubt that ChatGPT would be useful in anyway.
Agreed! flox environments are purpose-built for repeatability: Nix-based, versioned-controlled, shareable with others via git. Check out the docs https://floxdev.com/docs for how to get started with environments. We have a native Mac installer as well.

There are multiple classes of tech workers. Historically all of FAANG has been more or less part of the upper-middle and upper class. I think there will be a bifurcation along those lines within FAANG, and the big tech companies will look more like the big banks than like high finance going forward. You even see this in the layoffs, which hit folks outside of engineering harder than folks inside of engineering and within engineering really took a knife to the folks below "senior".

I think you could see a bifurcation in Eng tracks at FAANGs.

And they haven't added a single new feature I actually find useful in that entire time.

You answered your own question. Yes. Who removes a CEO? The Board. If the Board does their job (correctly), then they will make the right decision to release or retain the right CEO.

If the Board fails to do its job? What, then? Yep, shareholders have to intervene.

Which leads to what happens if the shareholders themselves don't figure out what to do or the right-decision to be made? Well, they lose a bunch of value as the company's value [eventually] plummets.

In that case, you should probably account for the time value of money and the depreciation of your solar roof. 15,000$ today is worth almost 50,000$ in 20 years at 6% interest rate (long term stock market returns are about 7%). Let's say the solar roof depreciates by half in 20 years and produces 14,000$ worth of electricity. You end up with 14,000$+7,500$=21,500$. Energy cost would have to increase a lot to make the solar roof a wise investment. Also, a quick Google seems to indicate that the inflation adjusted cost of residential energy tends to go down over time (e.g. nominal price goes up, but not as fast as inflation).
> Desktop Safari's market share is about 10%, roughly the same as macOS' market share

Vision Zero focuses on preventing traffic fatalities and serious injuries. This starts with understanding what and where the most problems are, then prioritizing resources to make systemic improvements. Data should be analyzed over at least five years to identify locations and types of serious crashes and to identify patterns. It is important to supplement police crash records, which can omit important information, with public health and equity data for a fuller picture.

It is unclear whether this would still even be the case.

My understanding is that it's a _policy_ limitation preventing third party browsers on iOS. But there's also iOS security policies preventing JIT to have a fast browser.

I cannot imagine Apple opening up JIT-capabilities to all developers on the app store. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't relax this at all. Perhaps they will they grant entitlements for JIT to a select few.

I guess I'm old-fashioned. I'd prefer a search engine interface with all the bells and whistles for doing complex queries instead of relying on the search engine to guess what it is I really want to see.

I think the main issue with the Rust option is they ended up with language syntactic sugar anyways. So in some ways, it's worse than the kotlin-style because reading `let baz = foo?.bar` could have all sorts of weird type implications.

What is baz? Is it Option<Bar>? Is it Result<Bar>? Is it some user defined enum<Bar>? Who knows! You have to find that by looking up the foo definition.

For kotlin, the answer is simple. "baz is a nullable Bar"

Rust did this because interacting with the enum directly was cumbersome.

The concept of "no value" is so integral to day to day programming that elevating it into the type system with "nullable types" makes more sense to me vs using generics trickery. Even if it's slightly less "pure".
I don't disagree. They were in a bad situation. Just not sure there was a better plan at that point than trying to get back to the road.
Not sure if you’re kidding, but if not – why would users switch in the first place, if that means abysmal performance?
Unlike today, in Europe until relatively recently (before the use of maize or rice became common) there was no such thing as gluten-free food.

So absolutely everybody was continuously exposed to gluten, especially the poor majority of the population, for whom bread was the main source of proteins.

Anyone with gluten intolerance would have had very severe symptoms with no chance of recovery.

Nonetheless deaths with such symptoms were very rare.
When I was learning AppKit, I just went to something something apple developer portal and read the relevant guides. Things may have changed since 2010, but back then these were beautiful compared to MDN (imo, iirc).

Just googled “AppKit development guides”. Yes, they changed to a reference format, what a shame.

It seems that good guides were moved to archive: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/navigation/#sect...

Oh, no, I also wish the other CEOs who claim to "take full responsibility for mistakes" do in fact, take some responsibility.

I'm not forcing them to write the words.

If they want to say "we tried, it did not work, the economy got worse than we expected, yet we think we're still in the best position to run the companies, but we have to make hard decisions now", that's their stuff.

I wonder how it would play out for any other employee using this strategy in performance review.

"I take full responsibility for not fulfilling my OKRs, and therefore I will demand that your fire every one else in the team to afford my promotion and raise."
It's hard to argue with that. I guess this article is a call to arms of sorts. There's no formal union but there can be a viral thought movement.
That's true of (commercial) news outlets. It doesn't apply to "everything you read". There are many ways to check facts that don't rely on news outlets, at least for people who have time and resources.
Wow, that is startling… I tried to write example posts that were too ridiculous to be real, but here we are.
Two different contexts here: Google still has a major dependency on the web so we cannot pull its money out of the platform that easily. Also, everyone nowadays understands how important platform control is and MS made a significant mistake before. If Google abandons the web then some other random corp will pick it up. Why would Google allow that? A market monopoly is not something passive which can be retained that easily.
Huh? It isn't because of inability to handle load, that they host on GH.

Gitea performs alright. It can serve surprisingly-heavy traffic from a potato-tier VM with a SQLite backend (assuming the host network can keep up with it, anyway). Not Github-scale (but Github has... a lot of traffic, including a whole lot of write traffic) but quite a bit, and that's with basically the worst-possible hosting situation for handling high load.
It's of very little surprise that places with poor compensation and fundamental disagreements about ethics are having trouble hiring.
Google products to me are the definition of mediocrity. They're "designed by committee" and play it safe, they're probably "good enough" for most people, but they're certainly not the best in class. As you noted Google Translate pales in comparison to DeepL, Google's TTS are worse than similar offerings from Amazon/AWS, let alone more niche focused products like Voicepeak, and you know that they're phoning it in for search given that there's a startup (Kagi) whose sole value proposiion is to use Google's own API then rerank results to achieve much better results.

You can buy some free weights at home, and do things even without equipment beyond some dumbbells and a barbell plus plates which don't take up loads of space. Floor press is a reasonable substitute for bench, you can squat without a rack by only squatting with a weight you are comfortable lifting over your head especially if you have a family member who can spot you, or failing that do something like kettlebell squats. You can get a skipping rope for cardio you can do in your yard/on your balcony.

Sure you're probably going to have a hard time getting as ripped as an action star in a modern movie or a full on bodybuilder, but you can absolutely manage to be in pretty decent shape.

I work out at home, and that is my set up and I am genuinely in better shape than most of my friends
Decision laundering. Take in dirty decisions and produce clean ones.
> > Equating innovation with taking risks is a faulty concept to start with. You can bet that the 'person' who invented the fire or the weel didnt take any risks. To start with, those were not invented by singular people 'taking risks' but invented by entire species

Back then people were making human sacrifices and starting wars because 'the Gods told them to do so'.

Innovation happens when risks are taken (eg. Montgolfier brothers, Wright Brothers, the guy who discovered testosterone by self injected blood taken from the testicular veins of horses...) and given that risk and confidence are a state of mind much less a business practice, you cannot conflate it just to science and technology but said risk and confidence will be visible all around society. So wars, genocides, violence and genearlly stuff considered bad.

The rate of innovation has been slowing down due to the diminishing in the standard deviation of human behavior. Or as kids say: 'Less fucking around, means less finding out'

Standard deviation of human behavior goes both ways, people rejoice that we eliminated the negatives but we have also eliminated the positives. No Einsteins without Hitlers, no Archimedes without Alexanders etc.

So even if the guy who personally discovered fire or the wheel didn't take risks personally (I doubt it) he operated in an environment where the standard deviation of human behavior was much larger. For sure there were people jumping off trees with wooden wings, wars, genocides, much more violence. And that is statistically enough to make sure that at least one unit in the sample stumbles into something great like fire or the wheel.
Given that the flaws of this new approach to search would be more or less shared by any other effort based on similar algorithms, thus also openai/microsoft, maybe this is just a PR battle and Google declaring, "yes, we can outcompete you in recklesness and sillynes"...

An interesting question is whether the inability to ascertain "truth" can be contained somehow so as not to lead to mass ridicule. I doubt it but not an expert in this area. My guess is that it would have to be limited to specific curated domains, a combined system that could be invaluable to knowledge workers but maybe not exactly the desired business model of "big tech"
> The issues are wattage and whether the radiation is ionizing or not

As an EE-type guy the issue is actually the dose rate. Even if the effects were sub-linear, which it seems they probably are not (like, why would they be?), there is an incredible range in dosage from FCC permitted rates up to "those crazy broadcast engineers and ham radio operators doing questionable things".

If effects were proportionate to dose rates, then my broadcast engineer bros would keel over dead at work the first five minutes of employment, etc. Maybe not THAT bad, but pretty bad. If carrying around 0.6 watts peak increased cancer rates by 1 ppm, you can imagine what would happen to EEs working on MW class military radars, MW class broadcast transmitters, they would essentially all die of cancer before retirement. But they don't. So you can put a firm estimate on the death rate from cell phone radiation at "less than 10 people a year" because if more than 10 people a year died of cellphones then essentially all communications industry personnel would die very young; and they don't; so it seems likely to be many orders of magnitude less than 10 people per year, but it certainly can't be more.

Another way to look at it is there's a 50 KW broadcast farm near the interstate where I live; if a 0.6 watt phone increased the risk of cancer, then driving by 100000 times the power would realistically result in every car driver breaking out in tumors and dying the first time they drive past the antenna; yet no signal appears in the statistics, so it seems very unlikely a 0.6 watt transmitter could be killing people if something a hundred thousand times worse is definitely not killing anyone.

I just watched a relevant interview between Dwarkesh Patel and Marc Andreessen[1] where they discussed James Burnham's ideas on how a manager class inevitably arises once a corporation reaches scale in order to maintain the machine. Unfortunately innovation and building suffers once the managerial class takes over. The culling of managers indicates Zuck maybe isn't quite ready to abdicate and there is more growth/innovation ahead?
