Well, there clearly are bots on social media, doing things like reposting popular posts to farm reputation points.

The idea these bots are doing that for a reason doesn't seem so crazy to me.
we see the same in tech too. many of the genius billionaires somehow just got started during the boom period.
Are you seriously implying that the average family in the developed world nowadays is more impoverished than their grandparents? We have the resources, but we choose to devote them to other priorities. It's the two car lifestyle bit that's the issue.

But frankly in past generations for the vast majority investment in the education and development of children was almost non-existent. treating children seriously and investing in their development was a luxury only a few could afford, and only a tiny few of them bothered to do so.

Nowadays with universal public education the base level of education of most children is orders of magnitude better resourced, but of course still fairly generic. We just don't bother to add much on top of that, mostly.
Set up a basic web server, then try something like WordPress/Drupal (with some database backing it)... then maybe SMTP/IMAP with spam/av filtering and a web frontend (roundcube/squirrelmail)... that will probably keep you busy for a few months :)
> I was given a computer with internet access around age 5 and allowed to experiment all I wanted.

Most identity experimentation games happen from age 2-3, and much of it depends on parent and environment feedback. Sitting at your computer "experimenting" is highly unlikely to be what our psychology and evolution needs for us to become fully mature adults. It's much more about direct feedback and interaction with parents, siblings and others.

The writer's trying to argue that product managers aren't useless, but that they have too much power. Okay, sure, but they go about it in the most confusing way possible. They start off by saying that developers who think PMs are useless are missing the point, which is fair, but then they go on this whole tangent about how PMs are actually important because they can help with decision-making and project delivery..?

And then they start shitting on PMs, saying that they're not actually that smart and they only like the discovery part of their job where they get to make all the decisions. And to top it off, they say that PMs in B2B companies are useless because they're not actually talking to the people who use the product... That's literally the job of a PM, to talk to customers and figure out what they want.

And then they go on to say that if you want to innovate, you shouldn't listen to PMs, but instead put your most competent salesperson in charge of the product. That makes no sense at all.

Sadly, as someone else said, I'd assume that this article was driven by poor experiences with a PM in the past. And it's not cool to take a bash at the whole segment due to having a bad experience with someone.

This is normal issues with developers i think. Even if most developers don't recognize it.

For example, the GoF design patterns to me could be a factor for brain damage issues. (You're swimming in tons of patterns, but you've lost in connection of those patterns, how to apply it in real world problems)

Or the DDD book (Blue book) could be a brain damage book. (I found the author is a genius on writing non-sense things, mostly abstract but useless in real world for hundred of pages !, he should write about Functional programming concepts instead)

How to cure ? Stick to FP, never do OOP again.

Also avoid over-engineering in most case. Keep things simple.

TLDR: Avoid the wrong abstraction.
You're right in that I should've clarified I'm somewhat projecting from the state of the military and law enforcement in Germany. In recent years multiple special operations teams have been dissolved [0][1] due to extremist right-wing ideologies which have been known to exist for years but only after multiple journalistic publications these groups have been dissolved. There's also a history of Nazi and radical right-wing stuff in the regular army. [2][3]
Federal Police and the Intelligence Community aren't excluded from this either, especially the intelligence service belonging to the Bundeswehr, the Military Counterintelligence Service MAD. [4]
And while I don't have any evidence at hand for this right now and thus it can be dismissed as irrelevant, I have a hunch that it may not be all to different in the various military and law enforcement agencies around Europe.

This looks really interesting. I haven't jumped into the Pico pool yet for my hobbyist microcontroller fun, but I guess I "should", it does look pretty cool and the price/availability is right. I was initially turned off by the lack of onboard flash, that made it look ... less mature/complete than e.g. most AVRs or STM32s.

I wonder if it's possible to port the Black Magic Probe [1] firmware to the RP2040 (as a host, I mean now)? I always felt the Black Magic seemed so nice, but haven't managed to get it running on the variety of Shady Blue/Black Pills [2] I've managed to get hold of the past few years.

A model parameter is not the same as a "fact". Facts can multiply uncontrollably, but the logical relationships between facts that (at least we as humans) care about are much more economical. It feels that this approach is missing some key abstractions that might help reduce redundancy in encoding. But its just a hunch. Need to dig deeper to understand at least conceptually why this dimensional explosion.
That exists, but it's a PITA typing codes back and forth, and more importantly no place I've tried accepts it as a login method, other than the bank's own website (and it locks you out from some options when logging in like that). Some might work with the BankID application installed on PC (which also only works on some operating systems), and other places specifically requires mobile BankID.

So yes, you do need to use the BankID app, not just in case you "want" to use BankID, but in order to be able to log into some sites period.
Again, it's been a theory for a long time that top companies like Google were hoarding talent, but there just isn't any evidence for it. Not least, because if that were the plan Google is doing a shockingly poor job of it. People are getting confused by the timing, but two things happened. 1: Elon Musk got angry that the Babylon Bee got kicked off twitter and became so online that he burnt $45Bn pursuing an unhinged vendetta. Separately to that interest rates suddenly went from a historic low to shooting up - the result being these high growth companies saw their forward returns crushed and their stock values cut in half, so the equation of "invest for growth" vs. "Return cash" tipped massively. It's easy to conflate these two things, but they really have nothing to do with each other, it just so happened that Musk managed to time it incredibly badly. Big Tech is responding to macro trends, Elon Musk is personally accusing his own employees of being pedophiles, there's a slight difference.
On a personal note I was involved with a tiny NLP company that won a contract against IBM Watson around a decade ago just showing a proof of concept that worked using known NLP techniques.

The contract was not large but showed how easy was beating IBM in that technical side, even when you compete with a sales machine.
Same could be said of anyone in tech who held onto vested RSU in 2021/early 2022, which I think is a majority. Greed is human

> The definition of success was "earned a living wage" but some were much more successful than that. I was thinking about this particular issue recently because a good friend, one who falls squarely into the "should have quit" category, has recently become homeless.

How do you account for artistic disciplines where virtually nobody makes any money? Most poets will never earn a living wage from their work, however beautiful and well made it is, because the market just isn’t there. Does that make them failures?
I second this. Given your background (lisper) maybe do the Little Learner book once it is out + Karpathy's video series. Follow it up by building a slightly complicated application in your favourite domain (text, images, videos, time series).

Also word of advise from my experience (I'm not an expert in DL either): Think of DL field as a game of lego blocks. The ideas in this book / Karpathy's videos are the basic lego blocks: parameterised linear functions, non-linearities, auto-grad, cross-entropy / KL divergence loss and gradient descent. Then there is entire body of more complex legos discovered simply by practice (alchemy!): transformer blocks, layer norm, max-pooling etc. It is impossible to understand how the second kind were obtained from first principles. The trick is to not beat yourself up about the advanced blocks too much but just play around, read up things in papers. Just focus on fundamental blocks.

I think this is a wonderful idea and one of the best ways to structure software, but I want to point out that the functional core is only one way to achieve the benefits and if you are in an environment where that is not possible due to performance or whatever, you can still derive most of the benefits by focusing on the state transformation part.

The real key aspect of this approach is that your state is not spread around the code and changing all over the place, but instead a big State -> State function built out of many smaller referentially transparent functions. (i.e. the complete opposite of OO programming, which IMO is a generally terrible idea that only works well in Smalltalk or in distributed systems).

You can achieve a similar outcome in the procedural setting with a "double buffered" state. Your procedural function writes out a new state based on the previous state, and the "imperative shell" only ever touches the "completed" states, and then flips them so the current state becomes the previous state and the previous state becomes the buffer to have the new state written into.

Less convenient but if you need to have tight control over memory allocations or performance this can be beneficial.
America doesn't have regular power outages; they're very infrequent and exceptional. However, when they do happen, they can be really big events, such as the big failure in the Northeast about a decade ago, and the infamous problem more recently in Texas during the winter. There's also local outages from natural disasters or extreme weather. Usually, very localized outages from storms (like falling trees) don't affect that many people and are repaired quickly. Outages from hurricanes, however, are bigger and take much longer to fix. What happened in Texas was just really bad planning and legislation, and only affected Texas.
More to it, from a layperson's point of view, that paragraph seems to contradict the headline. As they seemed to find COER mutants, albeit in low quantities, which I read as bacteria that could actually resist it?

Maybe they are saying that even though there are some bacteria that can resist it, they are never actually selected? But what would the mechanism for that be?

Pointers to a well-defined type, but one which does not reveal the underlying datatype so a user is unable to interact with the actual data without going through the library’s exposed API (or at least strongly disincentivised from doing it).

IIRC the normal way to do that in C is to use an incomplete type, aka just have a

In the header file and define the actual struct contents in the implementation file.
"Engineered stone also known as man-made, reconstituted or manufactured stone; is a man-made product that dates back from the late 1980’s. The main component in engineered stone is quartz which is one of nature’s strongest minerals- rated at 7 on MOHS scale of mineral hardness.

Engineered stone is usually made from a mixture of resins, cement and natural stone chips such as marble, granite, basalt or quartz and coloured pigments. The raw materials are inspected then mixed and blended together, poured into the slab mould. The mix is then highly compacted into a dense form by vacuum, vibration and pressure, cured in a kiln then cooled. The slabs are then cut into sheets and polished.

Most manufactured stones are designed to imitate the popular textures and colours of natural stones, especially marble and granite."

When I was building my pervious startup I got so burned out that it almost ruined my family. I found a solution: talking with peers about your issues, a bunch of people who can understand what you’re going through and rigorous group accountability for things like rest, schedule, workload and other things that can get you out of that state.

I started Clique so more people can find peer support groups fast. It’s free during beta (and you can reach out to me to keep it free for you if you need it).

We are not publicly launched yet, but we already run the group calls.

Well, I'm autistic and have ADHD bad enough that my body will not even respond to my attempts to move sometimes. There are a million reasons for me to be unhappy with it, feel trapped and isolated inside my own head, want to escape/avoid reality, and choose to do so through fantasy. But it doesn't change the fact that I honestly identify this way now, no matter how I got here. I think explaining it away as some syndrome or illness is a bit minimizing. My identity is important to me.

In physics, intuition is much more of a cage than the models.

In fact, I would argue that our intuition itself is such a model. It's just one that vertebrates evolved over 100s of millions of years that enabled their brains to optimize Darwinian fitness.

It has layers upon layers of simplifications and heuristics to reduce complexity to a levels it can use to compute viable behaviour.

This is exactly why the Rust folks chose the kind of analysis that they did for the borrow checker. It's quite co-extensive with the subset of memory-safety proofs that happen to scale up easily and compositionally to larger programs.

That said, it would still be very helpful to have true first-class support for the GhostCell pattern in Rust, so as to be able to prove safety for somewhat more complex designs (including safe doubly-linked lists) albeit contained within a single module.

Same thoughts. Even though we, as civilization, had less resources in the past to discover "the world", one person could "easily" study the whole body of knowledge accumulated over the years and try to come up with something new. Add to that that the person is a genius, and you get something remarkable. Nowadays it's, imho, impossible for a single person to learn the whole body of knowledge of any single branch of science or arts.
