> Responding to someone actively expressing interest in your product by offering them a demo definitely doesn't qualify as "turning it into a greasy sales pitch"

Direct contact introduces social pressure into what was previously a hands off window-shopping/product evaluation experience. If a person is expressly looking for a sales contact for 1-to-1 demos (e.g. after filling out a contact form), then that may be ok, but outside of that it certainly comes across pretty greasy.

The original comment was product & marketing feedback in general (suggestion to improve onboarding for all visitors), not a direct request for info solely for themselves. Replying with an offer of solving for them individually isn't in line with the intent of the original comment: it comes across as ignoring product feedback.

Fair enough the second reply stated the 1-to-1 demo would be quicker than creating a video, but the first reply gave no indication they'd take on board the video suggestion at all.

> They've clearly built the product to be a low touch experience

What makes you say that? If it was as clearly low touch as you say this thread would not exist.

Seeing as the "anti-woke" side explicitly wants people to learn about american history, while the "woke" crowd is banning books, pushing porn and propaganda books and into classrooms, this "both sides same" narrative is garbage.
> I thought it was disturbing how often it would show me videos from people who'd turn out to be under-age girls

This is disturbing to say the least, especially because TikTok's algorithm is highly responsive to your individual preferences. I tried it out for a bit because my kid was on it, and I literally only got forklift, train and truck videos after awhile.
The second iteration will be interactive books - like that forsaken episode of Black Mirror was exploring. Taking us one step closer to "Diamond Age". Human connection doesn't necessarily has to be in the plot - the human behind can be at any extra layer.

To be honest, I see a continuum between using spellchecker, grammarly, or anything that comes above. You seed the intention, and you get an improved result - by means of huge datasets.

In a way, the hollywood machinery has been doing A/B testing on the likelihood to get a human brain hooked on the way to tell a story - structurally, there are not so many different stories. This only removes the need to have monkeys at the typing machine.

And yes, I'm being slightly sarcastic. But only a tiny bit. That way you can be sure it's a human writing this.
There are a few problems, Zoning is probably the least of the problems in the sense that we could effectively waive a magic wand and solve it, but it is a political problem which makes it more difficult than it needs to be.

One reservation I have is what zoning we get rid of and where. Many cities such as Columbus where I live have fantastic, medium-density neighborhoods that we really shouldn't touch. On the other hand the downtown area is full of surface parking lots that are not only empty most of the time in the evenings but post-COVID empty most of the time all of the time. Something I'd advocate for in a 1-2 punch would be to remove parking minimums city-wide but also to remove zoning restrictions in the downtown core first to create density there where we lack it before we try and remove it in our neighborhoods that we know are good and appropriately dense to start with.

Most of the density/zoning problems as they relate to neighborhoods exist in the suburbs, not cities.

You're right about the office renovation though too. That's an issue. Thankfully those buildings are owned by someone who, frankly, has to spend the money to do something useful with them. We should make/let them solve their own problem there because whatever they solve for will be good for downtown cores.

Unfortunately zoning is going to become a political nightmare. Already state governments in locations such as Ohio where I live are now working to block cities from slowing down traffic or providing alternate means of transportation options instead of the car-only (the government says you aren't allowed to do anything but drive a car) infrastructure we pay for now.
> More residents (and thus more students) means more funding to work with.

Except in my town, as is fairly common, an incremental student costs more than the contribution from local property taxes and the state. So the fairly rural town of about 7,000 generally resists any plans that would markedly increase the number of students in the town.

Solar fuels has a niche in that it allows us to make reduce the net CO2 released by carbon fuels. It would help blunt the level of changes needed to stave off worse climate disaster giving us more time to wean off of things like NG fired power plants and cars.

Full title: Men Lose Life Satisfaction with Fewer Hours in Employment: Mothers Do Not Profit from Longer Employment—Evidence from Eight Panels

Abstract:

"""

This article uses random and fixed effects regressions with 743,788 observations from panels of East and West Germany, the UK, Australia, South Korea, Russia, Switzerland and the United States. It shows how the life satisfaction of men and especially fathers in these countries increases steeply with paid working hours. In contrast, the life satisfaction of childless women is less related to long working hours, while the life satisfaction of mothers hardly depends on working hours at all. In addition, women and especially mothers are more satisfied with life when their male partners work longer, while the life satisfaction of men hardly depend on their female partners’ work hours. These differences between men and women are starker where gender attitudes are more traditional. They cannot be explained through differences in income, occupations, partner characteristics, period or cohort effects. These results contradict role expansionist theory, which suggests that men and women profit similarly from moderate work hours; they support role conflict theory, which claims that men are most satisfied with longer and women with shorter work hours.

So in this situation, you were or weren't seeking out young girls in the feed? Because it sounds like TikTok was just picking up on _your_ preferences here.
I wouldn't say I'm the most knowledgeable in this regard but as far as I know it's not super common. Buddhism in Thailand is strongly tied to making merit[1] which is more or less doing good deeds. And generally, this is seen as something to be done regularly as a part of daily life as opposed to taking a break out of normal life for it. That being said, I'm sure there are still plenty of folks who do so, but at least in my experience it was primarily non-Thai folks doing so.

This sort of content is intensely frustrating. OP is a software engineer and entrepreneur. There are actual people who actually study this stuff for a living. They are called historians and they work extremely hard for minimal pay in a field with few jobs and crushing hours.

Then some random startup person comes in and writes a blog post with a sentence like

> But there’s also another option if we don’t take it for granted that people in the past were really that different from us.

Like... this is the sort of sentence that makes people tear their hair out and scream into the void. It is like somebody coming to you and saying "wait... maybe we can... just hear me out... write a program in text and edit it over time to build software."

My wife is a professor of history and has done work on some of the questions raised in this blog post. Usually I show her these things because I know it'll be fun to rage at them together. But this one I chose not to show her because I do not believe that I have ever seen online writing that is more dismissive of her profession than this. Like, and I cannot express this clear enough, OP is just making shit up about a field of study that is centuries old and involves professionals who work 60+ hour weeks for shit pay because they are so invested in these topics.
I think you're underestimating the number of spec writers. If that ever happens, every company with a custom business stack will need at least a few. That's certainly a few million jobs worldwide.
I think it's more about Apple's hardware frequently being very fragile in certain ways that higher-end thinkpads usually aren't. They've had the crumbs-in-the-keyboard thing, that may have been resolved now, but Apple's laptops seem to have had an extreme sensitivity to moisture going back to at least 1999.

There are many advantages to Apple's laptops compared to others, but I think it's worth considering areas where they fall short when you're choosing your next machine.
I’m honestly starting to think the same thing. Obviously it’s cool tech and it feels like we’re in the verge of the singularity at times, then at other times it all feels like bullshit. Some very smart people I work with said they’ve gone off using it because it’s really not that useful and the novelty has warn off.

Ultimately, OpenAI can’t keep control of this tech alone, forever. Fundamentally they must know this. If a LLM can make anything, it can replace OpenAI and Microsoft too. It’s a double edge sword.

Probably wise to milk the hell out of it.
Being caught lying about something like that could end up giving long lasting problems.

I’d be much more inclined to find a friendly company for the first post-burnout job and then hop from there in a year or two/three.

Interesting. Any time access to knowledge becomes cheaper a revolution occurs. Or anytime a monopoly on knowledge disappears. I guess the next revolution occurred with the printing press. And the last, with the internet. Did I miss any other?

Explain to the lawyer that these things are hand managed and that dates will slip in which have been copied from other headers in other files, making the years in the headers unreliable, and that if it ever came up in court that you'd have to testify to their unreliability -- while also explaining that git was considerably more reliable and that any one individual commit which had incorrect dates could generally be identified by surrounding dates.

That will generally tickle their aversion to putting data that could fail under cross examination in front of a court and they'll be more likely to let you delete all the dates entirely.

There's literally no reason for them anyway. You don't even need a copyright statement, but you probably do have a copyright file with years in it, and you've got git for supplimentary info on exactly when any given line of code went into the codebase.

Also if you're updating every file every year you're losing the information on when a piece of code when into the codebase, which is the only important thing anyway in the case of patent lawsuits, expiration of copyright really isn't an issue worth worrying about (and I think bumping the copyrights every year is wrong policy there as well).

While you're at it, remove all the Author lines as well with the people who no longer have anything to do with the project and their old e-mails which don't work.
Sorry, but this advice just sounds really out of date. How is "a cheap server" ever cheaper than free? I don't think you understand just how generous and simple the free static hosting CDNs are. NGINX is fine but it's absolutely not simpler than saying "hey Cloudflare, serve my main branch at this URL" and then it does all the rest automatically.
You could do vrbo even before airbnb existed. Airbnb innovation was the room in someone else house and almost no one does that at this point.

Schools have both. Highest rates of bike riding are always college towns. It's just that schools also have commuter students, who might live nearby to family in car range, at which point they save money hand over fist even with the costs of car ownership by not paying thousands on dorms or off campus apartments. Maybe apartment prices are super inflated near the school too, and living a 45 min drive out gets you something you can afford to rent. A lot of these college towns are in the middle of nowhere too, the college is the major employer and source of all activity, so transit is highly limited just like it would be for a european town in the middle of nowhere with maybe 10k people living year round in it.

What I remember most about Crazy Taxi was the extremely 90s pop punk sound track.

If the main monetary expense for him was hiring voice actors, I assume he didn't license any Offspring songs or anything like that. Does that mean the game has no sound track, or that it has a sound track of free songs, or that he made all the songs himself?

Anyway, wish him well. Making a full game by yourself is a ton of work, and most people just give up on it after a few months, so that's especially impressive.
From a quick reading of the wiki, the associated methodology seems rather limited:

"System complexity, particularly in software systems, making SIL estimation difficult to impossible"

"The requirements of these schemes can be met either by establishing a rigorous development process, or by establishing that the device has sufficient operating history to argue that it has been proven in use."

You could prove that normal code satisfies some specs, but you can't do that with neural nets unless the number of possible inputs is tiny. So, the only way to establish that the black box neural net meets some SIL target is through "sufficient operating history".
> If you're building a quick demo of a product to get user feedback, and you write perfect code that's highly maintainable, you've wasted time

Any time I thought I could shortcut my way to a demo by relaxing on perfect code/maintainable code it has always ended up taking just as much time and often longer.

As a society, we need to grieve. We need time to grieve, yes, but we also need a process. We need permission to grieve: we need to let ourselves grieve.

Not just for the dead, but for the shocking loss of this or that imagined future.

And this process is going to be weird, and we'll hardly recognize ourselves, but of course nothing fundamental will have changed.

While any US new station (possibly with the exception of NPR) will be sensationalized and alarmist, as someone who studies primate (and we are primates) nutrition, I am completely behind banning substances until we find that they are harmless. Additionally, some of the comments below are simply stupid: (1) "Innocent until proven guilty" is a great right for humans, but it should not apply to products. I am quite sure you'd be complaining if radio-active substances had been considered "innocent until proven guilty" and released to the public for their use pending testing. This did happen with arsenic laced green dyes (not radioactive, but same story), and in the case of the Radium Girls/Women. (2) If we were to assume "innocent until proven guilty" then these chemicals could still be "banned" until found not guilty (just as humans can be retained/jailed until trial if they are deemed potentially harmful).
Lots of angles here. For one thing, consider, like a Humean skeptic, small things. You believe if you hit a billiards ball with another, it will roll away at a certain vector. How might we justify this belief? You might say, "well I have seen billiard balls interact before, and this prediction is consistent with my past experiences, I have no reason to believe otherwise." Hume would say: "the belief itself that you can predict a phenomena based on prior analogous observations cannot be justified alone by those observations." That is, there is nothing in your experience alone that proves that things that act one way in the past will continue to act that way in the future, there is something like belief there.

But you are probably smarter than that. You would say, "well the study of physics shows that we can generalize the behavior of bodies in space such that we can predict their behavior. And look! We can make planes and computers and such with these generalized rules, so they must be real." But what fundamentally has changed here? Not only is it ultimately the same act of belief, but now you are at best 1 step removed from actual experience. Not only are you putting some belief into the consistency of the universe, you are putting it into a giant infrastructure of research and peer review and state-interest and grants that you can't possibly be personally a part of entirely. You have in fact contracted out your empirical life to others!

Because it is "better" or "worse" as a story, does not change the fundamental act of belief. Hume, I believe (its been a long time), would say this kind of believing is a habit, which makes sense to me.

To get even crazier, consider even perception itself, as Husserl did. You are looking at a table in your room, you can't see the other side of the table, but you "know" its there. But what do you really know? You know that perception itself tends to present a "world" with certain characteristics like extension, where moving around an object will present different parts of it. But that perception "shows" you a world like this does not justify the world itself, only the characteristics and tendencies of your perception.

This is what I mean in principle, perhaps we "know more" but we are certainly not "smarter" than religious people of the past. We just have longer stories for things. Stories that are sometimes, but not always, more fruitful.

And a related but different angle: I think even secular/atheist/agnostic people who aren't even necessarily militant weirdos like Dawkins/Harris unconsciously must contextualize themselves and their life in a world of belief. Trivially, you not believing in god is not an absence of delusion or whatever, but necessarily a belief. You go about the world and live your life based on unconscious assumptions that there is fundamentally a ground you are standing on, whether you are a philosopher or not.

Passkeys (in the sense the article is referring to, which is to say FIDO2 passkeys) are explicitly portable between devices. And the difference is they're always unique per-site in a way that passwords are not necessarily.

It's possible to approach the security of passkeys if you always use unique passwords per-site (with e.g. a password manager) but you're still then vulnerable to phishing unlike with passkeys.

The burn-out happened to a major degree at my last place of employment. I was an early employee at an electronics startup and I was working around 17 hours a day migrating an early version of the web application from PHP into Node, programming arduino and raspberry pi boards, adding various payment modes to an android application, and writing server code in Haskell (a language chosen for no good reason other than it sounded cool and nobody except me could even read the code, the person who wrote it initially having left). 10 months of this ultimately took its toll.
What? Why? How would this improve anything?
