This is a fantastic analogy for something which has bothered me for years! One example which comes to mind is pushback received on a pull request for a cron job. This script did some heavy lifting so it took a few minutes to run.

The reviewer suggested all sorts of minor optimizations so a script which runs once per week in the middle of the night with no one waiting on it could run tens of seconds faster. A complete waste of time and effort to my mind, and one understandable as the OP describes: a technical challenge which, when solved, equates to zero consumer upside.
I don’t want more energy efficient things. I want more clean energy so that the things I use can work better by using as much energy as they need instead of cutting corners for efficiency.

It's interesting to consider that the company was profitable in 2018 ($1.2B) & 2019 ($1.4B) [0].

It would have also been profitable in 2021 if not for a $900 million lawsuit settlement hitting the books.

It was by no means a sinking ship until the acquisition and subsequent "improvements".

Perhaps they'll turn it around but there was probably a more predictable path back to profitability than the one Musk chose.

Even if he was totally right he was aware that most people thought he was wrong. It's insane to make advertisers and investors think you're a lunatic whether or not you actually are when your income is dependent on those advertisers.
It's really hard to tease out differences caused by culture from differences caused by genetics. This has nothing to do with "liberalism", science is just hard when it comes to human behavior.

Anyone done this before? Any learnings?
Time improves all output, including from "fast thinkers". To illustrate no writers, including students, can produce their first rate work on their first draft. Much of the time it takes not only revision(s), but time away from the first round of thinking.

I like that the author is self-aware in this manner, and I'm sure that he has interesting output once it comes. But this process is the opposite of unique.

And now on to a contravening view: there is a time value to most valuable things including thought. It is a talent to be able to cobble together useful almost first-rate (novel) output on the fly. Which I assume has to do with the individual's rate of cognitive pattern processing "depth". Pattern processing being pretty well correlated with IQ.

Though there should be exceptions. Like for people with auditory processing issues, or those that look like them. Whose pattern processing may be fast but who need a little bit of extra time to process language. Sometimes there is not enough time in the interaction, especially if it is within a group setting. Apsergers-type individuals arguably often match this pattern.

My main takeaway from watching him fumble around haplessly at Twitter is that there's not a chance in hell that I'd ever get in a car built by a company that he runs like that, let alone a rocket.

It's fascinating to watch him learning in real time as he is experiments and bring his own experience to it. He has been a successful executive for a tech company before, Tesla is just a tech company that sells cars. Now social media

He came in shook it up and innovated. Facebook copied his subscription idea. Other social media companies are likely to follow. He has already changed the industry, and where it goes, he probably doesn't even know

I know its getting popular, but I really doubt 90% of software development is generated from trained models...

I don't understand what's so at stake with this that you feel like people are afraid. It's fun and amazing it can spit out stuff like this, and if you are a good developer experimenting with this stuff you already know its inarguably a novel and useful utility, if still limited in some ways.

But where is the fire? Why does everything got to devolve into one vague culture war or another? Shouldn't you welcome good faith critique? If only for the fact that these things can still be improved, and how can you hope to improve them if you smother and dismiss every suggestion that these models might be less than perfect.
Well, in fact that's not the price for an RPi 4 4G, that I think it's around 70-80. But the low stock is used by some people to list insane prices.

Also, NetworkManager supports even WPA3 as a client, but I don't think it's the best option for building a router. It's better suited for a regular client. Anyway, if you were building a router in a small board like the RPi4, I'd recommend you to use OpenWRT instead of Debian. Also, if you want a "more standard" distro, just use Armbian. It's just plain Debian with ARM support.

Yes, the RPi is scarce, expensive and not super powerful, but also its target is not being a wireless router at all: only one interface, no external antennas... It's the wrong board for that.

Get a GL.iNET board with OpenWRT or a x86 multi interface miniPC for that.
maybe 'read' is not descriptive enough here -- difficult materials takes multiple readings for anyone human; definitely different yet again when studied in a group with guidance and feedback.
tail-recursion is just an implementation detail...but with recursion, I find non-programmers struggle no more with them than simple loops. It's only programmers who develop a strong familiarity with loops that feel some sense of unnecessary friction. Neither are more than code that says "do this thing until this condition is met"
Elon Musk says Twitter is ‘aiming’ to roll out encrypted DMs this month
Can the drop in revenue be offset by the ~80% drop in payroll? None of the prognostications about Twitter’s total and utter technical collapse after such a dramatic headcount reduction came true [0]. It still may be a bit premature even after a few months to say that the company is perfectly fine with so few engineers (e.g. can it survive a disaster recovery situation [1]?), but the platform is definitely performing far better than almost anyone predicted.

Our new(er) Bosch dishwasher beeps three times at the end of the cycle. I like it because it alerts me to open the door a couple of inches to promote drying.

All the dishwashers[1] I had previous to this had a real drying cycle that actively vented the humidity and was effective. My Bosch doesn't vent the compartment so the dishes take forever to dry if you don't open the door.

[1] Said dishwashers all manufactured over 20 years ago, before draconian energy efficiency requirements came into effect.

Not just physical rents. The Information reports that Twitter is at least $70 million behind on their AWS bills:

> Importantly, increased number of children identifying as trans Does Not Mean "increased number of children who would not otherwise have identified as trans".

A useful analogy would be the number of women who spontaneously self-identified as witches in Salem by 1692 and 1693 compared to the number who self-identified as witches in the late 1960's. Being burned to a crisp is certainly a huge downside to showing your true persona.
He's Trump and a used car salesman rolled into one. I was a fan of his before I started following him in November 2022. A few weeks later I un-followed him and once again stopped using Twitter altogether.
There's no understanding what he's done, really. He could've pursued a traditional m&a strategy with real diligence and been able to back out when the market made it clear he was overpaying. He could've bought 10 or 15% and gotten a board seat and then gotten any information he wanted. A fun thing to think about: how much of what he accomplished in reality could he have accomplished if he'd only bought enough to get a board seat?
That's the first thing ChatGPT said at the start of the whole process. It created a game like Kakuro.

Isn't that kind of the same thing? If you're so controversial that people successfully call to boycott you personally, is that not chasing away paying customers?
The archeologists are struggling with cultures that have left no record. We know lots of stuff about, say, the Roman empire. I think future archeologists will struggle with the opposite, with us leaving a gigantic amount of data behind. Just think of what the gmail account of the next Hitler can teach you. I see no reason to think that we won’t be able to preserve that data as the cost of data storage keeps shrinking.
Facebook copying his questionable subscription model is hardly evidence for "innovation". If anything it's the opposite -- it shows big corps just copy each other as a safety mechanism -- something we've already seen with the large rounds of lay-offs.

Not sure what you're putting in your dishwasher, but FWIW I have a 30 minutes / 60°C cycle on my dishwasher (off-brand) that I use when I forgot to run it at night. Dishes come out clean as new.

I have clocks in various mains powered devices that will drift noticeably over a couple of months. Some survive small brownouts, some don't, I have one which will last for a decent length cut.

I'd wager all of them get timing from an internal oscilator driven by a low-voltage DC supply and have no mains frequency or voltage anywhere near them.

Host contains:

* A USB 2.0 Host.

* An Enhanced SuperSpeed Host.

* A DisplayPort Source.

Host can also optionally contain a PCIe controller or PCIe switch.

A USB4 Host supports 20G USB4 operation (Gen 2). It optionally supports 40G USB4 operation (Gen 3) and 80G USB4 operation (Gen 4).

It's important to not forget that Skyrim has been ported to an insane amount of consoles over the years, which includes engine and optimization updates. It's a very actively maintained game that from what I can tell mostly follows sensible design practices with current hardware.

Fallout 3(& by extension New Vegas) hasn't had that luxury; those games only got two releases (initial & "ultimate edition"), both of which running on an engine where the glue holding things together is duct tape and technical debt going back to Oblivion and it was released for a set of consoles that needed optimization to the degree where it was just easier to dump the entire world state as it changed into a save file instead of just storing the bare minimum[0]. That's the sort of optimization that will lead to bugs down the line as undocumented features and behaviors change (not to mention the already buggy release state of both games.)

[0]: Which in turn caused another infamous bug to pop up where the PS3 would run out of storage to keep individual game saves (the cap was something like 10mb) after playing for long enough.
Googles ad revenue fell around 10% in the same period just based on secular trends.

Twitter fired their ad sales team and angered their ad partners. It seems perfectly feasible they added a 30% drop.

Also investor calls are extremely easy to source because there are so many people on the call and most of them have no vested interest in keeping the numbers secret.

Well the logo might not be a great example, as it is often clickable to the home page and should have alt text so people know what it is.

A better example is when a site has little stock photo thumbnails with article titles on a navigational page. The screen reader can read the title text; knowing what’s in the thumbnail adds nothing.

Images should only have alt text when they contain “real” content (for example if it is an original photo that is relevant to the associated story).
Just found the manual and I might have a solution. I pressed two buttons simultaneously but there is no feedback. So we'll see if this works.

The site has been pretty unstable recently. The headcount cost reduction is worth much less than the additional cost of lost ad revenue + interest payments. Twitter was break even pre-Elon and is now down billions per year.
> A button would mean I'd answer endless calls by accident

That's honestly not a design issue.

The design of the following device was never criticized because answering a phone call was "too easy"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_3310

Anyway, I've never said to use a button, I said "swiping is a terrible gesture"

My parents have enormous issues swiping to answer phone calls. So they answer by accident to a lot more calls than they did when the phone had buttons, because they answer while trying to hung up. It's not clear at all that they could not do anything and the call will automatically end after a while. It's not clear at all that they could silence that phone call, without silencing all phone calls.

It's even worse than that: most of the times they call me back because they could not swipe "the right way" and were unable to answer.

But they are not stupid, they've gone through life pretty well, they worked with precision instruments in health care, where people lives were at stake, it's the interface design that is stupid!

There was a time when things were designed to be used by people leveraging human natural abilities, not forced onto people because they look cool in ADS.

> Yes, my leg, through my pocket fabric, can push buttons

Don't keep your phone in you front pocket then!

Anyway, I don't know how big you are, but the pockets of my jeans can't handle more than half a smartphone.

And previous generations of phone never activated on their own while in my pockets (yes, they could fit, because they were sized to be handhelds not small tablets)

But, more importantly, you're not considering more ergonomic gestures than swiping, like a long press.

You are assuming that your habits are the best possible implementation.

EDIT: there's also this: swiping can reveal physical characteristics of the user which could be considered not exactly a good thing, in this era of data harvesting and targetization.

I'm pretty certain that's not an engineer's feature but rather the great idea of a product manager answering to marketing concerns wanting to make the product more "human" or some shit like that. The engineer sighed, implemented the thing, kept his job and moved on.
