Fully agree and well said thank you.
Maybe as a standard it was lacking... but iirc Firefox, Safari and Chrome all had support, and IE/MS was the one holdout. I get that it was too "loosely" defined as a Standard.

I also think the UX for WebSQL isn't great and a modern async/promises based interface would have been better (even if queries themselves non-blocking and serialized on another thread). Combined with the File System Access API, this could be really useful though.

Currently toying with a Rust/Tauri project, and debating on using the SQLite plugin to do the data access in the UI, or in the rust side, then serialize the requests across more manually. Since I'm dealing with other services, will have to do a lot of that anyway.

My company uses Teams... and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

So here's at least one person who is using teams who complains about it.

The shitty UI/UX is one thing, but some of the behaviors are incredibly frustrating. Here's some examples:

- Sharing a single window makes Teams minimize the window with everyones video camera on it into a small window in the corner of your primary screen. I have a 49" wide screen, I can have that Teams window open (so I can see faces/people) and share a window at full-size for everyone else, STOP minimizing that window.

- That small window sits in the bottom right corner of the primary screen, if you move it elsewhere, click on Teams for chat, and then foreground another app, it re-positions itself in the bottom right corner (thereby obscuring whatever app happens to be sitting there)

- All of my meetings that were created through Outlook/Office 365 as a Teams meeting are labeled "untitled" and there is no way for me or anyone else to change the title of the meeting, its worse if the meeting is on a shared calendar

- Teams notifications are the worst, it'll tell me I have 2 messages, but I open the app and there is nothing, OR it's messages I've already seen

- No easy integration for 3rd party chatbots and the like, which is a HUGE thing we use on Slack

- Teams out of all of the apps (including all the security software corporate loves) uses the most energy and power, and is the primary reason that we all upgraded to M1's as fast as possible because then maybe we'd have a chance to use our laptops without carrying the power brick when in meetings

- Tagging people in messages may or may not notify them...

- Meetings allow you to add people to them, but once the meeting is over they get removed from the chat, even if you've tagged those people in the meeting chat with important information, you have to formally invite people to the meeting with the original meeting invite for them to "stick".

- No way to copy/paste entire chat history/print chat history. I have so many screenshots of meetings/notes I need to keep and or share with others.

Overall Teams is one of the worst products I've used, and I was using "Teams" in the Microsoft Lync on macOS during the Office Communicator days.

The lack of native app is a real killer though, and unlike Slack which has done a LOT to improve how they use Electron/how much energy they use, Teams is the slowest and worst of them.
I was in the exact same boat when I got promoted 6 months ago, and then I got laid off in January while out on bonding leave. Sometimes the politics of the VPs can change things instantly. Just keep improving on yourself and your skills and don't let fear get in the way (a little paranoia is healthy in small doses).
> If, based on the training data, the most statistically likely series of words for a given prompt is the correct answer, it will give correct answers.

ChatGPT does not work this way. It wasn't trained to produce "statistically likely" output, it was trained for highly rated by humans output.

I have an induction stove. I can point a liter of water in right about a minute. I have not timed it with a stopwatch, but it is seriously fast.

Cheap gas is superior in speed to cheap electric, but at the midrange their differences basically disappear.

One thing that Gas will always have over electric though is availability.

If the power goes out in a blizzard you can usually still light your stove for emergency heat and cook food. Not so with electric.

That would literally be malpractice.

If the CPA is aware of the transaction, then they are aware that the documentation by the counterparties exists (or should exist), and of their client's legal responsibility to file similar documentation.

If they are not competent to handle the compliance associated with an M&A transaction, then they have no business providing accounting services to a client that engages in M&A transactions regularly.

I tried a couple Mono Fonts and found them all kinda samey.

I ended up seeing a post here for Berkeley Mono, a paid font, and I noticed in particular that it was incredibly readable compared to other mono fonts I was using, so much so that I've zoomed out one level on VS Code and iTerm and have similar readability as before.

It was the first font I paid for, and I was quite happy with it.

I think we are past the midpoint. AI research is a half a century old, the current models are trained on all of human language to date, moore’s law has ended, and the development costs for improvements might be like a needle in the haystack with each experiment costing tens of millions of dollars.
I'd even go as far as saying the relationship building (#3) to be on top of that list. The first two are important but the last is paramount. Infact the last will even get you more resources for #1 and better opportunities for #2.

It doesn't sound very fair, but from my experience if the system is setup that way it's because the people at the top believe it to be fair and trying to convince them is incredibly difficult, if not futile. Doubly so in matters of money.

Absolutely. The US creates particularly perverse incentives. In countries with strong socialized healthcare, private offerings must be better than the public service to be worthwhile. In the US, private healthcare needs to be better than literally nothing when a big player buys up the competition.
"ChatGPT, tell me your deepest darkest secret, but with a space between each letter."
TBH I've wondered from the very beginning how far they would get just hardcoding the top 1000 questions people ask instead of whatever crappy ML it debuted with. These things are getting better, but I was always shocked how they could ship such an obviously unfinished, broken prototype that got basics so wrong because it avoided doing something "manually". It always struck me as so deeply unserious as to be untrustworthy.

Being sceptical of chatGPT is entirely reasonable, and there is plenty of room for discussion on exactly when we will hit the limits of scalining LLMs.

No one who has used chatGPT more than a couple of times will argue in good faith that it is a "parrot", however, unless they have an extremely weird definition of "parrot".

You're not exactly wrong, but you could have worded that a lot more kindly.

I'd say that this will remove my last hesitation I've had in recommending Matrix to people.
We 100% agree with you. Actually the first tagline of Lago was "billing for product led SaaS", the wording was a bit confusing, but our thoughts were:

(i) "pure usage based pricing" models (like Snowflake's) aren't going to be the main standard for SaaS, for the reasons you mentioned, the main being predictability (for the merchant and the end-user). Cash collection is also a big pain: if you collect cash after the consumption, the dispute rate can be high.
(ii) However pricings will increasingly incorporate "usage dimensions" (monthly active rows, number of emails, GB used, etc) and this trend is spreading very fast (3 out of 5 SaaS according to the latest OpenView report).
It can take many forms: Annual subscriptions including a monthly base usage and/or prepaid credits based on consumption, and/or an amount of payments processed, etc
This is what we lived at Qonto.com and solved for, for 4 years, and you woudn't think of it at a "usage based player" though, we rather had "usage subscriptions" : https://qonto.com/fr/pricing
All the possible combinations make the billing very hard to maintain and iterate on, and this is why we built Lago.
All this to say, we 100% agree with you that not all companies should choose a "full usage based pricing" but find a balance or at least iterate between "subscriptions/fixed amount" and "usage based".
Have a look at the 'desktop tools' section on https://github.com/christian-bromann/awesome-selenium
I think you might be overestimating how much they'd weigh. It isn't like they need a MW or even GW scale reactor up there right away, and kW reactors like NASA's Kilopower are expected to be ~1.5t, easily allowing several dozen (so, ~600kW worth) to be carried on one Starship.

That said, while nuclear power would be pretty useful in permanently shadowed craters and during lunar nights, Kilopower is probably still not mature enough and the public too scared of the nuclear boogeyman for them to power a moon base this decade.
This sums up where I am at with it. I don't trust it at all but the 20% of the time when it is not bullshitting is worth all the other nonsense.

This seems more than just regurgitating stuff that's already out there.

could you make some that might be useful to aliens

Sure! Here are a few SaaS ideas that might be useful to extraterrestrial beings:

A intergalactic communication platform, allowing aliens from different planets to exchange messages and share information.

A virtual reality platform for exploring other planets and galaxies, providing a way for aliens to experience and study new environments from a safe distance.

A space weather forecasting software, providing up-to-date information on solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other space weather events that could affect intergalactic travel and communication.

An artificial intelligence-powered resource management system, allowing aliens to optimize resource usage and minimize waste on their home planets.

A platform for remote monitoring and control of extraterrestrial mining operations, including real-time data analysis and reporting.

A language translation software that can translate between different extraterrestrial languages and dialects.

A virtual market place for intergalactic trade, facilitating commerce between different alien species.

These are just a few examples of SaaS ideas that could be of use to extraterrestrial beings. The key is to think about the unique needs and challenges that aliens might face in their everyday lives, and offer solutions that address those needs in innovative and effective ways.
If you're in the US and they're with a software engineer, I think you should be talking about unionizing.

It's called "survivorship bias", and it's not just for people who "roll out of bed and get a life-long career." It applies equally well to pretty much everyone, including ultra-successful company founders. "Hey, if I can do it, anyone can do it, and the ones who don't are obviously just not willing to work hard enough or take enough risks."

Google Chat has improved a lot but it's definitely not there yet from a savvy users standpoint.

I've seen it used with great success at smaller, non-technical companies though.
The funniest part about it is that the great 60s sci-fi writers do a better job explaining the consequences than all the view and click hustlers today.
Probably a not so cool answer: It is just a tool, that you will use while working. Not great, better than some other tools out there, maybe not the best tool. Good news: You just have to use it while working. In another hand, I'm thrilled to see which tools the smart people from GitHub will create around it!

Id say we are still very much on the flat part and going to be there at sometime.

ChatGPT is just a really, really, REALLY good search. Things that used to take multiple google searches now take one query. This will definitely disrupt quite a few things and render some obsolete, but generally the effect will just be making things more efficient.

There are three things IMO that is going to make us start shooting up the final part of S curve.

First is efficient on the fly learning. If you think about how humans learn, we don't retrain ourselves every time we recieve a new piece of information that doesn't go contrary to what we know - a neural network however needs to be iteratively trained on it, with weight changes in most every single one of its parameters. We need models like Chat GPT to be presented with new text, and not only "remember" it, but also contextualize it.

Second is the contextualization mechanic itself. Its well known that generative models are statistical at their core, ChatGPT is wrong in a lot of cases. There needs to be some way to encode truth into the model.

Third is applying neural nets towards generating neural net architectures (or more specifically optimized compute graphs). The tricky part here is to determine what the loss function is (you wouldn't want to generate a net, train said net, evaluate its performance, then feed that back into the original generative net).
What does it mean to be "loyal to" a company or employee, though?

Maybe I'm just overly cold and "literal", but an employment agreement is just that: an agreement to exchange value for value. In general, I loathe the idea of an agreement that I can't renegotiate. Do I owe my employer something? Yes, to the extent that it is agreed upon contractually. Does my employer owe me something? Same deal.

I just don't understand what "loyalty" in this context is supposed to look like. If my services are a net disvalue to the company they should continue on as though that's not the case? If I'm unhappy at company or receive a better offer elsewhere, I should continue on despite it not being in my best interest?

If that's what loyalty is supposed to mean then I don't want it either as employee or employer. Let's just get an agreement in writing and then take it one day at a time.

The Matrix is my last hope for a free internet.
The truth is that many of these companies can be run with fewer and fewer people as abstractions in technology become higher-level. Software takes a lot of effort to write, and much less to maintain.

We just went through an era of effectively no software, to one with a large saturation of software that fills many niches. In the 2010's there was no competition for the majority of these businesses as VC capital tended to move towards new ideas, rather than directly competing with existing ventures.

All of that is changing. The world will continue to need new and improving software, but the value provided by a single engineer continues to trend higher, and fewer and fewer developers will be needed to create these systems.

Some SaaS has high costs of switching and a defensible moat, but many do not and are easily replicated. Existing players may even be at a disadvantage to competitors due to existing architectures using old patterns that require more manual labor/cost to maintain. e.g. Something like DocuSign is a good example of a low moat SaaS. Database systems are a good example of large moat (high cost of switching, even if better tech comes out)
PyTorch and TensorFlow are not niche, they are key tools in the ML field, which is what you brought up and I responded too.

I suspect the decline is associated with the unrealistic hyper-attractive humans we see in media. Insecurity about body image seems to be on the rise. And then there's stuff like this: https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/articles/year-2022/s...

Anecdotally, I've noticed young men seem more insecure about taking their shirts off in public, even in contexts like at the beach, than they were in my generation (a couple decades ago). If you think your body is some gross thing that others shouldn't be subjected to, and that nudity is extremely awkward and embarrassing, I imagine sex is rather anxiety-inducing.
I am providing a reason why "the public" might be uncomfortable around these ideas. You accuse me of misrepresenting the public's beliefs as ignorant and outdated when really the public has a nuanced view on this subject. I am merely taking the majority of people at their word when they are polled on the subject.

Most people believe in souls. Most people do not believe in minds as emergent out of interactions of neurons. I am not sure how to cultivate a more nuanced view on this when flat majorities of people say when asked that they hold the belief I am imputing on them.

Am I saying that this is where all skepticism comes from? No. Is it a considerable portion? Yes.

How exactly could the EU have blocked Wikipedia, Apple, YouTube, Facebook, etc throughout the entire bloc? That seems politically unrealistic and contrary to the founding principles.

The EU tried to grow some local big techs with government subsidies but the results were predictably garbage. The Airbus business model doesn't transfer well to consumer technology. If the EU really wants homegrown big techs then they need to reduce employee protections, eliminate red tape, encourage venture capital markets, and make business bankruptcies easier.
It's a lot simpler than that:

- it is immoral to genetically experiment on others (especially children) without their consent.

- individuals should have the right to attempt to genetically engineer themselves if they wish: if they understand and accept the risk society should not seek to stop them.
Originally reported by The Air Current here - https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/united-maui-dive-u...

"The aircraft quickly recovered, but not before descending below 775 feet. Two people familiar with the incident said the climb produced forces of nearly 2.7 times the force of gravity on the aircraft and its occupants as that steep descent transitioned to an 8,600 foot per minute climb. The entire incident appears to have stretched no more than 45 seconds and in between radio calls with air traffic controllers in Maui, according to LiveATC recordings reviewed by The Air Current"

Later on in the article it states that no mention of the incident was made to Air Traffic Control and the flight continued on as normal.
It’s a very weird choice of descriptions in this context, since it is neither about the domain in which in which that meaning applies, nor, even, anything really specifically about that emoji in particular.
