One wonders how your end users feel about that.
If your job is to tell people they're wrong every day, you're working with the wrong attitude.

Your job isn't to say no, it's to say: "This doesn't work, but how about this?".

Engineering isn't about being a prick that shoots down ideas and be the "smartest person in the room", it's to make those ideas become reality as closely as possible while working within the constraints of what's feasible.

OpenAI has a capped-profit model so I really don't think it will ever go public.
Similar to another user, I tend to visit the places less often that have the tip terminal. It happened more subconsciously.

Nearly every coffee place does get ruled out except establishments like starbucks. Even corporate chains have a tip menu, last I encountered was during thanksgiving day and I was happy to tip that day since holidays. But moving on, I order using order ahead feature. The tip menu is there but its a software UI with no barista standing behind.

After reading the article, I realized even for picking food up I end up using the restaurant site or using the pickup option through the food delivery apps. Restuarants often already either have a rack or a setup for delivery orders.
No, but it means you should probably have specific evidence of malice before assuming it. It's similar to Occam's Razor: Just because "the simplest explanation is usually the best", does not mean that the simplest explanation is always right. But it's usually a good idea to start with the simpler explanation because a simpler theory is easier to interrogate.
> Those industrial uses don't crash into a random person's house if they fail,

It is highly unlikely to crash into a random person’s home due to engine failure. Planes don’t drop out of the sky like stones when their engines fail. You can still fly them and pick a spot to attempt emergency landing or controlled crash.

For comparison, cars crash into people’s homes all the time, but i don’t believe it is ever a result of car engine failure. No reason to expect plane engine failures to cause these.
No, github has always been fully remote.
Hi as some of the others have already mentioned Lantus is off patent. My organization is focused on insulin glargine but there are generic versions of insulin lispro and aspart. Which is the generic/biosimilar version of humalog/novolog. We decided to stick with glargine first and transition to the other versions as we progress.
The hypocrisy is astounding.

Typically the same people downvoting this will call our current mechanized food industry a blight on humanity that's destroying the earth, unhealthy, and harming animals. Yet, they're willing to let these same people feed them mass produced bio-lab meat without questioning one bit.

The FDA is out there recommending frosted mini wheats over chicken right now. I don't trust a thing coming out of there mouths. They're just paid off by the highest bidder.
This, think companies going out of business left and right. Not 5-15% layoffs after the company doubled or tripled in size over 2-3 years.

Almost no one I knew worked right through it without being impacted, and some people had huge impacts. I worked as a contractor for 2 years afterwards before getting back into a startup. I knew some people who were out of work 6 months or a year and came back with huge pay cuts.

Tons of people I knew ended up with furniture and servers in their house they took when the company closed and management/investors didn't want any of it.

I got a desk and a nice office chair that way.

It’s still not an appeal to authority because Hersh’s status is not being invoked as evidence that this story is true - only as evidence that we should withhold judgement until it can be corroborated with hard evidence. These are very different stances.

No one is claiming that a journalist’s reputation removes the burden of proof.
There's plenty of code already written today that will still be in use long after we're dead. (Well, assuming gpt10 doesn't rewrite it all).

If ephemeral codebases bother you, work on projects that will last longer. Things I expect will outlive us: Chrome, PostgreSQL, SQLite, LLVM, Linux/Windows/MacOS, Unity, Nodejs, Nginx.

I have a few small contributions in chromium and nodejs. There's something really delightful about looking at a strangers' laptop and knowing some of my code is in their machine.

After Dobbs v. Jackson I'm not so sure on the implied right of privacy anymore, given that such a right was the foundation of Roe v. Wade.
This was the one where the media reported that because nobody was found in the front seat it must have been the fault of the self-driving feature. The NTSB found that none of the driver-assistance features were activated, and the driver was probably tossed into the backseat from the impact:

Although the driver’s seat was found vacant and the driver was found in the left rear seat, the available evidence suggests that the driver was seated in the driver’s seat at the time of the crash and moved into the rear seat postcrash. Specifically, residential security video showed both the driver and passenger getting into the front seats prior to driving away from the residence. In addition, the EDR data showed active accelerator pedal inputs consistent with driver activity in the 5 seconds prior to the impact with the tree, and that the driver’s seat belt was connected
at the time of the crash. Finally, the steering wheel examination conducted by the NTSB Materials Laboratory indicated an impact to the upper left quadrant, consistent with the driver loading the steering wheel during a frontal crash.

The entire journey appears to have lasted less than a minute (9:07pm is mentioned both as the time the car left the driveway, and as the time of the crash), so it's unlikely the driver jumped into the back seat as a stunt while driving.

I get the message he's trying to convey, but I think it's just a bad analogy. Reaching the NBA scoring record would presumably require lots of discipline, good habits, hours of hard effort, practice, etc....winning the lottery seems like mostly luck to me. I get it that you need luck in order to be able to produce that effort, but I don't really see how those two events can be equivalent at all.
What you’re missing here, just like how everything runs in California (and perhaps in most places), the government won’t be in the business of manufacturing insulin. They will choose a winner to be the subcontractor to produce the product. That firm will meet a price point for the duration of the contract and then renegotiate. Or go into the market like the other players.

There's not really any other way - there is no way for anyone to unstake ETH right now (and there's not even a certain timeline for when people can get their money back!) - that's not a kraken limitation, it's a problem (feature?) of ethereum.

Kraken can't pretend to unstake customers' ETH and stop paying rewards because they have no way of returning the underlying coins to them.

I explicitly stated that it depends on what you compare with. Sure a car is more costly. And sure the ebike is better for your health than going by car. And sure it's less trash than a car at its end of life. But if you compare with an average commuter bicycle, the story is the opposite. I already wrote all of this, but you chose to ignore that, sadly.

My parents still have their bicycles which they bought 48 years ago and use them daily. Minor repairs over the years, but by and large the same vehicles. I want to see you use your ebike essentially unchanged 48 years from now. With the original battery obviously, and with its bluetooth controlled smartphone app. Good luck.

Where I live, the people who bought an ebike and use it daily/regularly are disproportionally people who were already using an ordinary bicycle regularly. (A local newspaper made a study in collaboration with the local university.) The thought that it transitions people from using cars to something more green and healthy is largely a myth. It transitioned people from burning 600 kcal on their commute to 100 kcal on their commute. And when it's raining they still use their car.

Double extra yes to pseudo-localized builds in front of humans to catch unloc'd strings.

It's not a perfect solution, but it's an odd kind of elegant. Elegant to code up and reliant on innate human pattern-matching to find bugs! Sorta like altering CSS for testing's sake on web pages so that some things just "pop."

I wish more people used those simple tricks. We waste an amazing amount of time on "perfect" solutions when we code automation and on manual testers walking the same paths, the same ways, over and over in their scripted test cases.
Well, it's sand anyways. Glitter is annoying because it's highly visible so you're constantly reminded of it, but sand is just like any sort of dust. It's also a bunch of very thin and tiny sheets, so it adheres to surfaces formidably.

Of course, you do your own "annoyance assessment", but a non-perishable, hydrophobic, heavy and visually unremarkable powder has a pretty good value in terms of unit of fun per unit of annoying in my book. Tidier than giving a kid a cookie.

I've hired a bunch of people (well my boss, but I'm on the interview panel so I have a real say though I'm not hiring). We generally agree that living near an office is an advantage. We have hired people from all over, but those closer to an office are more valuable just because sometimes we need someone to go physically look at a failing test setup.
It's a side business for Intel. Unlike AMD, Intel has never managed to produce GPUs that perform close to the current state of the art.

For TSMC, it would be an error to start large-scale production of chips for someone that still has their own manufacturing capability. TSMC would have to allocate less fab capacity to their existing customers, and those won't like that.

One thing I see different is back then there were tons and tons of small startups that vaporized.

Yes sure, it's not literally a military-grade thermobaric explosion. It's a few hundred lbs of fuel strapped to a 1,000lb+ airframe and I don't mind regulations and oversight of such things when people want to propel them through the air.

As for the rest, I agree...? I'm not sure how that was related. I think a dislike for leaded fuel is not incompatible with my comments indicating that some regulatory hoops are reasonable when creating customized aircraft.
Previous big waves of the shift were referred to as "outsourcing", "offshoring", etc.

This is a great question. Simply it is a lot cheaper to make drugs in China + India. The APIs cost less, and the workforce is cheaper. With regards to regulations I don't want to generalize but it has been well documented that it is hard for the FDA to regulate drugs being produced outside of the United States.
All this will do is push US customers to self custody, and outside the regulatory perimeter of the SEC.

Bravo Gary. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you, sir! That's exactly this one!
Honestly, I'm a bit bummed that the 'greatest of all time' era was when this stupid 'illegal defense' rule, which is probably the stupidest rule ever in basketball, was deciding games.

Basketball isn't really a 5 on 5 sport with this rule. It's a 2 on 2 or a 3 on 3.

I remember in 2004, my brother's coach gave him a VHS collection of 60s and 70s NBA games because "that's when the US played team basketball, that's how I want you to play". I think he also gave him the spurs games of that year and a couple of eurobasket DVDs.
As in, the insect? (English is not my native language) Why in the everloving flip would you do such a thing?
Depends, already years ago there was a hub-n-spoke-like model for office buildings where you had smaller offices for smaller companies that had the ability to temporarily rent the larger "shared" areas of the building.

It didn't really take off afaik, but with more bigger and stable tenants making a larger bulk of these it might actually take off a bit as a model.
Thank you :) JSON Server is great too.

I think both have pros and cons depending on what is needed.

Mockend provides hosted fake servers. You don’t have to worry about deployment.

So I think it’s easier to work with it in non-JavaScript environments (where installing a npm package would maybe be hard to justify) or for demos where you can’t make calls to a local server.

Mockend also comes with random generators and GraphQL endpoints.

There’s a free plan for Open Source too.

In the end, it all depends on requirements and preferences.

I only know of these old nizams and rulers from portrayals as incompetent narcissistic despots in Indian popular literature and television shows. The reality it seems is not far from it.

Good riddance.
It seems that programming on any heavily used platforms will eventually come down to quality and price.
I have seen that when the bosses see that the quality of the software can be managed at a lower level (quality being lower) then the software jobs will go to the lowest price.
With remote working now stable and accepted, the software jobs will go to a job market that is cheaper.
Also when you factor in tools that are able to create software for users by users just describing what they want and the users can update the requirements themselves, software jobs will evaporate quickly.
Writing software will go by the wayside as a career. There will always be exceptions like, platforms that are not as popular, hardware software, specialty
software, etc.
Time now to start thinking about security in your job and learning skills that will keep a paycheck coming in.
Currently I'm using Algolia but others have pointed out some alternatives I'll have to check out. Would love to hear any feedback/ideas you have from your project!
Yeah, I think it’s location-specific, maybe where you are wearing a gun at (say) the local shop is a totally normal thing, but here it would be really fucking weird and possibly even a cause to be worried
Not everyone lives from hand to mouth and need a job ASAP. Additionally, most people I know in (US) big tech do not take adequate time off from work - it appears the unspoken rule is to take substantive breaks between jobs, rather than annually like they do in Europe.
Wow, those are incredibly kind and inspiring words -- thank you! The good news is that these are all made available via RSS wherever you get podcasts.[0]

What I (we!) love about social audio is that it allows for many more voices -- both on the team here at Oxide and in the broader community. As a result, we've been able to get into some really deep detail with members of the team; I collected a few of my favorites in [1].

Thank you again for the kind words; I think you'll enjoy exploring the back catalog of Oxide and Friends!

Your post works without the "e" in front of "bike".
To be honest, I think just about anyone could learn to fly a western jet in three months. However, fighting it is a different story.

If you have experience with the Mig-29 then the F-16 won't be a big deal to learn honestly. Mig-29 is a death trap by comparison. I think the biggest deal would be getting used to the low displacement side stick and the fire control. Fly by wire and superior avionics make the thing much easier to train on. It's been intentionally made simple for export anyways.
It depends on your building rules. If you're in a zero lot line environment, you can't build an overhang that encroaches on the neighboring lot.

The overhang may also count as your footprint in case of any other setback rules.

It's always hard to do a side-by-side comparison between two athletes that did not play during the same era. Rules change, competition is different, and playing conditions can also be different.

In golf, today's players have much different equipment than in earlier times but the lengths of courses has increased. In baseball, pitching is not the same. Just like with Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game; who knows if any of the current superstars could match it if the conditions for that game could be duplicated somehow.

Any discussion of GOAT will bring a lot of disagreement because none of the sports are static.

Interesting reply, thanks for taking the time to share your expertise. I definitely wasn’t considering the economics of the question, and I tend to agree with you - supporting LLM queries with ad dollars seems impossible at their current state.

But chatgpt is already pretty darn good at summarizing and communicating. By “hook up” I literally just mean feed text from the internet into the prompt followed by whatever you want it to do with it - summarize, rank, whatever. Ignoring the economics for a moment (paid search engines?) and assuming that GPT 3.5 is the very best LLM we’ll ever get for simplicity: would you still say you don’t think tweaked versions of such models would MASSIVELY improve search?
It's difficult to overstate just how huge selection bias can get in the education space. I went to a high school in the Bay Area, one of a handful in my city. (1) Houses in our attendance area were ~$500,000+x more expensive than ones right across the street in another attendance area, because our school was "better". Why was it better? Because the parents paying an extra half million dollars to get their kid into a better school were going to make sure their kid did better, come hell or high water. So there were lots and lots and lots of after-school tutoring centers, where students would get taught the highschool material in advance, so that they would already know it forward and back when they were tested on it. Which makes the school test well, and thus look better than the other schools in the area, raising housing prices. x += $100,000; GOTO (1).

The actual quality of the education was substandard, but there is something to be said for being embedded in an environment where academic failure was simply not considered an option.
Exactly. This is similar to medical context, where it is found that decreasing regulations typically improves safety, both because it is easier to innovate and bring better products to market, but also because it increases liability of manufacturers: in a highly regulated market, they can say “sure, our device have caused you harm, but it operated exactly as FDA (or FAA) required, so take it up with them”.

See https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/11/fd... for example.

FAA overall has done a lot of good for the safety of the flyers (and I respect it much more than other regulatory agencies tasked with protecting us). The problem is that very often there is a trade off between safety and other things, and regulatory framework prohibits the people it is meant to serve from deciding on their own where exactly they want to be in terms of this trade off. For example, if motorcycles were invented today, they would almost certainly be banned as way too unsafe to operate. That would suck, because I love riding motorcycles.
Yes, absolutely! Good points to be aware of; I should find a way to add some warnings about this to the README.

It would be very nice to integrate it with Nix and make the hijacking automatic (perhaps with LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
Thanks for the tip! I've updated the article (and I'll soon update my game!).
None of this has anything to do with why school sucks. Schooling sucks because it's erratically funded.

Wealthy families arrange to live in suburbs designed explicitly to cordon their children off from there less wealthy peers, each time setting up a vicious cycle where homes in those school districts derive much of their value from school funding, creating an incentive for an ever-increasing levy for de-facto private schools.

Meanwhile, big city school districts are relatively well funded (teachers in the largest cities have surprisingly strong compensation) but poor management. Not everything that Republicans say about teacher unions is wrong, and there is an extent to which management of city public schools is set up to allow schools with high parental engagement (= greater parent wealth) to succeed while others fail.

Simultaneously, if you look at school districts in poorer exurbs or, worst of all, downstate/upstate rural districts, teachers really are making the wages that TV shows make jokes about, supplies are scarce and enrichment classes (in some places) nonexistent.

These are structural problems, not culture-war-of-the-moment problems.

I'm not high-horsing any of this; my kids went to school in Oak Park, IL; I believe every full-time teacher at OPRF makes a six figure salary. Oak Park is essentially a pair of extremely well funded school districts (K-8 and high school) with a fire and police department tacked onto the side.
