It’s one thing to fall for Bankman-Fried’s magic money box; it’s another thing to do so by the flickering light of tell-all TV shows about Uber, Theranos, and WeWork. Even during this latest downward readjustment, there’s no good reason to believe there will be structural changes or even a lot of individual consequences in Silicon Valley.

Hmmm..last time I checked uber is still around and worth a whopping $70 billion still, which is quite remarkable given how much money it lost and continues to lose. It should not be lumped in with the others.

According to Hersh, he still does due diligence with editors and fact checking. He just doesn't have the brand sponsorships anymore.

One of the major motifs of Chaplin's Modern Times.

It was released in 1936.

It's also, um, kinda something Karl Marx was concerned about. So.

Here's a famous sequence from the film, in which Chaplin's character is volun-told to try out a new efficiency-improving worker lunch machine:

Oh you saw that thread by poster 'aaaaa' also? I registered just to tell them to fuck off but by the time I did the thread had been deleted. Way to go moderation!
It's odd because I was immediately thrown off when I hit the back button and there was a lag going back.

Even on dial-up, going back was an instant operation because it just loaded the cache. Even when it did reload, it would immediate blank or react in some way.

It didn't have a weird lag to it like this site does, which immediately reveals the true foundations as a more modern SPA where hitting the back button must be firing off an ajax call which is then waited on.
"pasting “landscape painting ultra-detailed 4K artstation” into midjourney and getting an immediate result?"

Try doing that. Getting a good result isn't as easy as you make it out to be.
It’s pretty clearly written by a non-native speaker, likely with Indian origins. It’s not AI.
"People want desperately to experience the act of creation."

I think online they perhaps want to experience the validation of creation over anything else. Increasingly, the "creation" is in service of what "scores".
It's a huge frustration that happens whenever I try to use it, which is not often enough for me to do anything about it aside from curse their idiocy.

As for your mental model, you've adapted to the implementation details of specific package managers. This is just Stockholm lite.
Usually the cause of this is that someone has discovered some contrived scam or illicit activity which makes use of a mechanism like this combined with an employee who isn’t wise to it. So companies employ a computer system which doesn’t allow employees to make mistakes so they don’t have to be educated on avoiding social engineering which is largely impossible.
Hmm I guess that fan is just getting power from the device. MFi authenticates the data channel, but I doubt there is any data moving between the device and the fan, right?
The pipeline was voluntarily disused by the Germans, not under sanction. Whoever blew up the pipeline (come-on, it was obviously the US) attacked critical infrastructure co-owned by Germany, Russia, and some minority interests. That would seem a little ungrateful, wouldn't it, directly attacking your sponsors? The US, on the other hand, has a long list of incentives for doing so.
No mention of ZIRP or a decade plus of quantitative easing. Without those, there would have been no lunacy.
That's all very nice but the calculations would change quite quickly if people had to pay for the upkeep of the roads they use for their cars. Cities for the most part use their productive core to subsidise the unproductive suburbs until they inevitably go bankrupt when the roads build 40 years ago need to be replaced.

Is isn't noticeable at all if the app is built correctly. My app is used by health care professionals to log their hours and patient charting. Everything is instant when clicked and the app also has limited offline functionality. It's snappier than most mainstream native apps. Everything is native HTML 5 & CSS with very minimal javascript to handle logic and validate inputs.
I just simply do not use anything for my single page web apps that requires build. I still use build on production but strictly for bundling / minification. So far no problems.

Also I do not really use any frameworks. Just some libraries with particular functionality when needed.
Teams is some form of hilariously awful forum first.
A lot of modern Ethernet speeds are the result of what you mention at the end. Doing it with a gigabit port was never standardized to my knowledge, it only really got popular after 10G and later hit the scene, but there shouldn't be anything preventing a custom implementation.
Agreed on deceptive marketing.

I dug around and found some M2 updates.

Seems that generally, Nvidia laptops drop to a small fraction when on battery.

Examples:
3dmark wild life. M2 max = 150 fps, 3080 ti 120 fps, 3080 Ti unplugged = 27fps.

Blender 3d rendering: m2 max = 1:04 3080ti = :29 3080ti = 3:25

Lightroom: m2 max = :39 3080 Ti =:51 unplugged = 1:29

DR18 6k braw editing: m2 max = 0:55 3080 ti = 2:40 unplugged = 15 minutes

For ML comparing 3070 vs M2 max, 3 batch sizes:

CIFAR-10
m2 max = 242, 280, 327
RTX 3070 = 240, 283, 328

However for AI/ML duty the apple neural engine (ANE) looks pretty promising. On Densenet 121 the ANE on the M2 max is almost 7 times faster than the M2 Max GPU.

Seems like the M2 max does pretty well compared to a plugged in RTX 3070 to 3080 Ti. The big bonuses is that you can use all ram (not limited to VRAM of 10-16gb) and you get the same performance even on battery.

If you ever get to the point where you decide to programmatically analyze how much time you spend in meetings, I think it's safe to conclude that you're in too many of them without needing to actually write a single line of code

To be more "creative"? Or to give tools to fake creativity for the masses?
And just another reason not to put the hard work, which is the process that leads to human discovery and real creativity.

Hard no for me. Actually, this "automation" frenzy is motivated me clearly to learn more in a classical way. Without an "assistance".

Yes, I prefer to become less effective and more proficient.
Make one! Protocase is a great resource. Alternatively reach out to Sliger they may have something that works. They are in the process of moving (or were over the holidays), but they make great cases.

Rust and C# both use 'unsafe { }' blocks, which can only be enabled by a module-level compiler flag.
You're the only person in this thread strawmanning and talking about the funds being 'stolen' which is an exaggeration and is completely false. The correct term that PayPal has done is that they froze the account and it's held for 180 days.

So it isn't really theft at all if PayPal still holds the funds. If the funds are completely out of PayPal's hands and not in your account, then it is stolen.

In fact, should we compare to crypto sector, once you money is stolen or sent to the wrong address, there is NOBODY you can ask to get your money back, ever.

This is what I mean by you trying to augment or replace the current financial system with an even worse completely libertarian and utopianist system and whatever you say on 'dystopian governments' doesn't change this fact.

Even if we take your 'dystopian governments' view, when they control the crypto exchanges, there will be no way you can swap or or anyone to accept your worthless magic beans to fiat when this will be made illegal.
Where is the issue? Buy them their own computer.
> Not sure if it has to be that way.

Neither, but I'm yet to work at a company that both had code and had zero tech debt. I think there's something about capitalism that makes people want to deliver value as soon as possible, and value isn't necessarily dependent on good tests, particularly at the start of a project.
I know it's good advice to keep interviewing skills fresh, but boy is it a time commitment. I had to study for a few months to prepare for my last round of interviews and as the meme goes, I haven't really used leet code in my job!

As a Hatsune Miku fan... I can say... Yes?

People have been using AI generated vocals for well over a decade. The Hatsune Miku community differentiates songs and can tell who the composers or artists are even if they're all using the same voice.

There's a pretty big difference between say... "Karakuri Pierrot" and "Senbonzakura"
They have variations with cages if you need them. They're great!
Cool app, is this essentially a visual representation of the ‘lsof’ command?
In black and white terms, sure, it’s still a build process, but I second the recommendation to try Vite - the overhead is minimal and the expressive power build chains enable more than justify the overhead. I say this as someone who still writes plenty of vanilla JavaScript and was long reticent to adopt build chains into my workflow.

In this case the A in YAGNI stands for “Are”.

Now you're talking. That's a producer credit! Welcome to really being someone!
What is your explanation for why the White House, State Department, and CIA immediately responded with public statements about that "blog post" from a "discredited former journalist"?

What is your explanation as to why Washington hasn't put forward an alternative explanation for what happened to the critical infrastructure of their treaty ally, given they have the most powerful intelligence service on the planet?

This was clearly a covert operation and as such is unlikely to have any smoking gun. But As Hersh said, he's merely "deconstructing the obvious".
If you change the goal from "I wrote a book" to "I published a book and made money off of it", it's really no different than fronting the money to pay for people to write and illustrate the book, right? I tend to think about AIs these days as being tools for converting intent into action. Kind of like people.

Surely "an eagle" is [ an][ eagle] since the an starts a new word.
The github readme is illustrated with the Alice in Wonderland rabbit with pocket watch (original illustration; by John Tenniel) -- which made me do a doubletake.

So I notice that "Bartib" is "rabbit" sideways (backwards with swapped syllables). Clever; naming things is hard.

Anyway at a glance a time tracker for the command line seems handy; I'll have to take a closer look later.
Every year Apple talks about their commitment to gaming, and every year macOS gaming gets worse. It was never in great shape, but switching to Metal, dropping 32-bit support, and launching Apple Silicon killed it deader than a doornail. Then there was the whole Epic debacle, and the Xbox/game streaming apps debacle, and the (multiple) Nvidia debacles... The benefits of those choices usually outweigh the loss, but they mean there will never be significant games on Macs again.

I expect killing their relationships with every game company in the world will make their VR headset efforts rather painful.
But is it more crazy difficult than making a car that knows how to safely drive on roads designed specifically for humans?

That said, I think even just basic machine-readable road metadata like signs, speed limits, lanes etc would improve matters.
With a phone you can make it arbitrarily more challenging for yourself because if you use raw capture you can take on the work actual film designers and film developers have done for you in case of film, and after all craftsmanship is a lot about overcoming challenges.

Submarines can also be detected by sonar. Ships are common and do not raise as much suspicion as submarines. Either could have launched the divers.

This isn't unintentional. Companies were losing money or being used for laundering/fencing via fraudulent returns. Preventing your cashiers from being able to return cash or load up someone else's credit card is just a cheaper way than hoping your cashiers aren't getting scammed.
There's a chance the most informed people's salary depends on not understanding this. It takes a special kind of person to proclaim their profession is a danger to humanity and needs to be curtailed.
Can you give an example of what you're referring to? I don't know of anything limiting memory / cpu / etc in Erlang at least of any individual gen_server. We have the Factory processes which can gracefully loadshed, but that doesn't stop you from having a memory leak.

At least Rust doesn't have a garbage collector, so when the actor is stopped + dropped, it'll cleanup not only it's state but also it's message queue's flushing them so that all memory is released at the time of drop.
Interesting. Has MS in fact turned the corporate culture around? When I was there, the Windows org was full of fiefdoms with, at times, petty alpha nerds running things. The culture at Google, while far from perfect, was more respectful and data-driven.

This is scandalous. I wonder if you could somehow sue the police for not doing their job, or report the guy who refused to investigate.
CarbonBlack App Control required it as of 2021 I believe.
The more important point is that people react to things happening, they don't just sit there and take it.

A rise in automated content is going to be countered by the development of AI explorers who's sole role is to establish data provenance (this is what Google should be doing but isn't). No one wants a ChatGPT which blindly trusts the internet, they want one which will backtrack sources during it's training to determine if they're true - this is likely to be the next innovation from OpenAI anyway, since ChatGPTs value as an assistant is based on it's ability to provide accurate information to start with (and not be self-trained on it's own ideas).

Nobody wants to read your stupid chatGPT summarizes! If we want we all can do it ourselves. Congratulations you turned long and rambling into short and incoherent.
Please spend some time finding a skim reading technique that works for you to get through long texts.

What are your opinions of Yves Klein's series of IKB paintings? Do you have an appreciative understanding of the differences between IKB 79 and IKB 191? Are the differences all that important over opening Microsoft Paint, selecting the bucket tool, changing the fill color to blue, and clicking the canvas?

I'm not trolling either. I'm quite bothered by the common argument that "art is effort". Art is not defined by the effort it takes to create and anytime it gets easier (even to a trivial degree) there are always pundits and naysayers.

Also I went to a shocking wet market the other weekend in Seattle. Raw fish on display, raw meat galore in coolers, produce, etc.
There's just not much serious market for a 'build your own' server platform. Almost anyone serious buys systems prebuilt from Dell/HP/Lenovo, which have nice integrated solutions solving all of these problems, but the elements are too tightly coupled to work well in a piecemeal environment. For example, power might be distributed entirely using a backplane that the PSUs, fan trays, and motherboard all plug into. Since the market for DIY is so small, there's no real push for standardization, which would support a modular environment like standard PCs, and there's some disincentive too, since the vendors want flexibility to do cooling etc. in the best way. So what you end up with is a combination of low-volume bespoke solutions and 'ugly hacks' to make the high-volume commodity parts work in a way they weren't really designed to.

The closest that exists out there is probably SuperMicro. They have a decent variety of chassis, backplanes, motherboards and so on that work well together in a system, and the stuff is pretty decent quality. But because they are still designed for 'serious' workloads, they will not hit the cost of an equivalent desktop PC.
Everyone is missing the actual point of the quote. The UK is at the top end in terms of online penetration in grocery and even there it's true that there's "no way to compete with supermarket efficiencies". Grocery retail stores are really efficient logistically. No one in the industry has truly cracked the problem of selling profitably online because of that. It's the same players doing physical stores and online because they're cross-subsidizing.

This is cool, but I think it might be missing what the big problems with spreadsheets are.

I was complaining just today because I pasted some records into Excel and it decided to treat 933349234275230104 as a number (it's a hash), convert it to scientific notation (which I NEVER want), and lose precision. Yet there is no way to globally disable scientific notation. Plus it's kind of insane that "formatting" changes data in the first place.

I frequently paste timestamps into Sheets or Excel and it just ruins everything. If split-to-text puts the date part in one column and the time part in another, I can't put them back together with a simple string concatenation, because again "formatting" turned my date text into Excel's weird internal number. This is legacy behavior that Excel has to keep for backward compatibility, but I don't want it, and I wish I could turn it off.

Sometimes I'll try to scatter-plot 5 series against a timestamp, and Excel will decide all 6 columns are series, even though a scatter plot with no X-axis makes zero sense. Even when it does work, Excel seems stubbornly uninterested in understanding how dates/times work, and I can't do simple things like tell it to have an X-axis tick every day/week/month.

If you are building a spreadsheet in 2023, the #1 goal should be leaving behind all the baggage, even if it has to be behind a toggle. Listen to what people find frustrating about Excel (tip: it's gonna be dates) and fix that.

If you can do that, then yeah, Python! Woo! Neat! But that's not going to be the main draw, because it's not a solution to the main problems that spreadsheets have.
Web push or the notifications API? They both do about the same thing but web push can happen even if your browsers are closed and the phone is locked.
AI: "This is a bug"

That's just not true. A handful of bloggers have nitpicked at it using publicly available information. All of Hersh's big stories received the same initial response of derision, going back to My Lai half a century ago [1].

Hersh, believe him or not, is not relying on publicly available information, but confidential sources.

If reading is harder than writing code, why bother with tools that deal with the later instead of the former?
Okay, I'll take a step back and clear the table of about 50% of what you and the other replies seem to be objecting to. I don't think Reddit should be regulated by the government, or laws, or some anti-trust, anti-monopoly thing. I don't think 1A should be changed so that Reddit can be forced to allow speech.

What I am in favor of is recognizing, as a society, the value of free speech, not just as a constitutional technicality but as a principle. I believe we ought to value it as a good. And I think that as a society, we should stop and be like, hey, wait a minute, online communication is now dominated by a handful of sites, doesn't it violate the spirit of free speech if, in practice, all those sites enforce roughly the same overton window, and your options are to (a) get in line or (b) not use the 5-7 sites that everyone else uses?

In fact, I think the conversation about the constitutional limits of 1A, or governmental rights, or whatever, is a distraction. I'm not suggesting the government step in. I'm just saying we clearly have a situation where the principle of free speech is being violated — where people are not able to share certain ideas on the platforms that everyone else uses. I'm aware we don't have a law protecting that. I'm making a prescriptive argument that society ought to view this as a bad, dangerous thing.

So in terms of a practical agenda, I dunno, I would like to see a stronger shared appreciation of free speech, and bottom-up pressure for the big communication platforms to stop enforcing their own capricious filters. From this perspective — not the 1A perspective — I think the argument that "private enterprises can do whatever they want" is pretty weak and irrelevant. The actual question is what externalities it has on society when the platforms used by everyone decide what you can say on them. I think the answer to that is not obviously "nothing," and probably "something."
