It feels like there was a sweet spot in between the arcade era (where gameplay was tailored to get your quarters) and the mobile era (where gameplay is tailored to get microtransactions), where game designers saw the most success by providing a complete high‐quality experience in a single purchase.

There have been exploitative home console games and non‐exploitative arcade games and mobile games, but to me the overall opposite pattern seems to hold true. Then again, perhaps I’m being blinded by nostalgia for the home console games of my childhood!

Though the problem is well known (at least for 40 years),
No french governments has considered diversifying the source of the revenue funding the pension system. Actually its worse as the only capitalisation existing are in a process to be nationalised.

Moreover, this reform is purely the outcome of political game. Macron electorat is mainly the 'boomers' who fully beneficiated of th situation ( in fact their pension are impacted despite having higher wealth than the majority of the workers).

I personally would consider a reform only if there an effort requested for everyone.
I find the glare and reflectivity of glass displays to be more difficult on the eyes and less uniform. Also, since I don't do much color-sensitive work, I've never really run into calibration issues. If anything, it makes the device much harder to use in low-brightness scenarios.

It doesn't bother me since other manufacturers fill this gap, but I'd like to see more options regardless.
Enterprise has already been answered but if you want to ensure you can always earn and live wherever you want, then LAMP stack is for you. Majority (or at least a plurality) of the internet runs on it and there is always a shit ton of maintenance work needed.

> I finally gave up on protein powder. It's impossible to buy just protein powder. They always sneak in one sweetener or another.

There are, in fact, protein powders with no added sweeteners, though most of them still have some sugars (and usually also fat and/or nonsugar carbs) from whatever the source of the protein is (but these can be very low; e.g., Naked Nutrition Naked Pea protein powder has 27g of protein, 2g sugars (0 added sugar), and 0.5g fat per 30g serving.)

But, if you really want protein powder without sugar, you can, in fact, find protein powders without it (e.g., Whey Protein Isolate.)

> I switched to eating a hard boiled egg instead.

At 0.5g sugars for 5.7g protein? Why, exactly, are you avoiding protein powders, again?
> Bad argument. My sense impressions consist of far more than just text input.

Multimodal models are being trained right now using text images, video, and audio. Eventually you can add data from pressure, heat, and acceleration sensors and motors (sense of touch). We can further add additional "senses" - data from RADAR/LIDAR, magnetometer, multispectrum vision, radiation sensors if desired.

AI will come to know our world very well.
I've seen a couple companies (credibly) claim multiple independent networks, but it seems to be pretty expensive to do in practice. There's a lot of cost to be saved by having a single network, and it's too tempting to share things making the independence illusory.

Probably you get better independence with smaller providers where the provider isn't yet big enough to actually run a global network. Then, each PoP is likely to run or fail independently. Google and peers have enough scope that they can run a single global network where one can experience the Haiku:

It's not BGP
There's no way it's BGP
It was BGP

(DNS also fits in there; any sort of automation to push DNS or BGP changes will probably fit, if the name was carefully chosen)

I suggest pick something that you like and can spend longer hours with. It is not only the language but infrastructure these days. If you learn AWS you will not have problems of getting the job but would you be interested to learn a lot of dev ops related things?

Do you like interfaces and pixels? Web (js/css/html) or smartphone native(iOS/ Android app dev)?

You don’t care about looks but do care about works? Backend dev with Python/node js/other…

Do you enjoy creating new things or integrating things?

At some point one way or another you are going to try it all and flow to the place you like/paid more.

Strongly agree with this one. If you can move do it now. It only becomes dramatically harder to move away from Jira as time goes on.

Linear is essentially a mildly opinionated and hyper fast version of Jira. It will be immediately familiar to anyone coming from Jira, which is a really great thing for adoption.

Don't underestimate the speed feature. The effect here has been that people stop using Jira and only use it at a bare minimum as required by management. People end up moving all of their planning and notes to things like Google Sheets, random docs, or just Apple Notes. Linear is so fast and easy to use I found I was back to doing planning and notes live in the tool because it was easier.

Highly recommend you give it a try. My company is unfortunately already heavily entrenched in Jira and I found a vast amount of work to move us all so I had to abandon our move.
Yep! Apple doesn't seem to provide a way to disable the bluetooth behavior, but there are tools like bluesnooze that can...
The employee tried to confirm the firing, which is relevant to his contract, privately with HR. After getting no response, he asked Elon about his employment and contract status publicly as a last-ditch effort. Instead of answering the question, Elon tried to pivot into talking about the guy's work in order to save face publicly. That part of it is on Elon, not on the employee in question.

Its incredible to me how people are burying the lede here to somehow rehabilitate Musk's disastrous response.
While it's plausible and certainly a risk, I don't think anyone has presented any good evidence of it yet.
Sidestep which issue? The one of human representation, or the problems with floating point?

If they just want to side step problems with floating point rounding targetting the physical world, they need to go with integers. Choosing BCD to represent those integers makes no sense at all for that purpose. All I sense is a conflation of issues.

Also, thinking about it from a different angle, avoiding issues with the physical world is one of properly calculating so that rounding errors become no issues. Choosing integers probably helps with that more in the sense that it is making the programmer aware. Integers are still discrete and you'll have rounding issues. Higher precision can hide risks from rounding errors becoming relevant, which is why f64 is often chosen over f32. Going with an explicit resolution and range will presumably (I'm not a specialist in this area) make issues more upfront. Maybe at the risk of missing some others (like with the Ariane rocket that blew up because of a range overflow on integer numbers -- Edit: that didn't happen on the integer numbers though, but when converting to them).

A BCD number representation helps over the binary representation when humans are involved who shouldn't be surprised by the machine having different rounding than what the human is used to from base 10. And maybe historically the cost of conversion. That's all. (Pocket calculators, and finance are the only areas I'm aware of where that matters.)

Amazon is extremely organized (in terms of stock and shipping) and quite good at logistics, so it's very difficult to compete against them on that basis.
Sundar Pichai has spent the last 7 years floating on a raft built by others. The ropes holding the raft together have been fraying for years but he has ignored them since the thing was still floating. Now the raft is starting to come apart and sink. He has no idea how to repair it so is wildly grasping at anything he can grab onto in order to keep his head above water. The board needs to wake up before everyone else drowns with him.

Most processing of audio isn't CPU performance limited... For most realtime audio mixing, it doesn't matter if you use 1 watt or 10 watts for your CPU - the big speakers will easily be drawing far more, and the performers time will be costing far more than the electric bill anyway.
This is true in the entertainment industry, but it's because consumers want to buy what everyone else is buying. Not because there's a huge difference in performance. In fact, it's the opposite. There are many equally attractive/talented performers who can do the job just as well. It's very competitive, success is rare and fleeting even when it does come.

This translates into other parts of the economy. High income households experience high income volatility, consistent with the hypothesis that there is lots of competition at the highest levels of success—not very little competition.
> A pyramid scheme is a business model that recruits members via a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products.

So, no.
I was. I don't have answers and I recognize that labor dispute can be nuanced, hence my questions.
An interesting note about AirPod Pros is that you can turn on assistive feature and get fine-tuned control on passthrough volume and equalization. That could potentially be useful for further reducing the passthrough volume.
It's not a 'pyramid scheme' like Amway, but yeah, it's pyramidal.

The moral discomfort you notice is not because there is something wrong with startups per se, but with the winner-take-all dynamic that emerges in poorly-regulated markets. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K33AFOK?plink=B7Qs6pIL3Rfw7mh2&... You are looking at the most basic feature of capitalism: that the rich tend to get richer. The usual mechanism is that rich people can afford to take on more risk, and therefore earn more reward.

Your moral intuitions are correctly picking out injustice, but failing to notice that your entire life takes place among pyramids. Sure, startups are pyramidal, but so are corporations -- don't forget Zuckerberg telling the 'metamates' to put his company before themselves. Size doesn't matter; nor does industry; the same dynamic plays out in banking, agriculture, and all the rest.

If you follow that intuition, you may, like me, discover with surprise that you're a socialist progressive.

And once you've adjusted to that self-reperception, you may want to get active. The only way out of the Valley of the Pyramids is redistribution.
Well, I don’t think there is any question about it. It can only be attributable to human error. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been
due to human error.

Done.
Yeah we’ve seen the products that are similar to wing, and they’re very cool. Our approach though is to be as implicit as possible and have a very low barrier to entry, so customers can continue to use the azure/aws etc. sdks and we would create an “optimal” infrastructure for a given environment.
Sure, try running a thousand VMs on it though (which is an extremely random workload). A single sequential test at an optimal byte size benchmark for a consumer SSD is not representative of a real workload these arrays would see.

Doing so is a lot more complex and intensive than what a single consumer grade SSD can handle.

My point was just that if you wanted to get dedicated IOPs on AWS to match what you get with modern SANs, it’ll cost you far more.
Python hands-down. It's easy to whiteboard. Academia uses it. ML is overwhelmingly Python. Every interview you ever do will be in Python, even if you're not coding in it for your day job.

As far as stack, get great at AWS. Learn the ins and outs of as many services as you can. Learn IaC like terraform. IMHO Someone who knows AWS + can write glue code + decent at python is probably the most widely applicable to the largest variety of jobs in tech.

> Musk already has intervened to make Starlink less usable for Ukraine.

and here you are perpetuating the fake shit about Elon that gets everyone engaged. Elon doesn't want Starlink to be directly used on weapons to kill people. Would you also fault the World Nuclear Association for being willing to provide uranium to power Ukraine, but refusing to provide the same material for nuclear bombs? He has a right to determine whether he wants his technology to be used directly for offensive war efforts. He is still providing Starlink for general military operations and communications. He just doesn't want it directly enabling weapons.

Naked Nutrition Naked Whey is Whey Protein Concentrate, which has no added sugar but does have some sugars. (Of course, so do hardboiled eggs.)

There are manufacturers that sell Whey Protein Isolate without any sugars (added or otherwise).
I was more talking about the "domains as identity" part that preceded OpenID than OpenID itself. OpenID was if anything much worse in that respect, partly because it tried to solve the authentication problem, not just the "central place to look up information about a user" problem.

I don't having users maintain this domain bit will work very well unless it's integrated with a service provider you're already using, so you'll depend on users relying on decentralised providers already for it to work.

But note that OpenID also allows this. While I used OpenID directly on my own site for a short while, for most of the time that I used OpenID I just added a record to my site that pointed to a third party provider.

The same ability to point somewhere else also exists just fine today with WebFinger, and the Fediverse. E.g. my galaxybound.com/.well-known/webfinger endpoint [1] redirects to m.galaxybound.com, which is my Mastodon install. I could've also put in place a custom webfinger response at my main domain to point somewhere entirely different or add additional resources if I wanted. Similarly, there's nothing stopping e.g. registrars from offering custom webfinger resolution as an extra service.

Personally I'd much prefer that wins, since webfinger provides a single lookup mechanism that can return any number of different types of records for different services without each of them having to invent their own mechanism. This includes using it to discover the OpenID Connect provider for a given user (request /.well-known/webfinger with the "rel" url parameter set to url encoded "http://openid.net/specs/connect/1.0/issuer", and "resource" set to the relevant account URI; setting the "rel" parameter is optional - including it is just a hint that's the only setting you need/want) so you an use it both to indicate authentication preference and to provide arbitrary pointers about your identity.

> Russia doesn't have pipelines that connect all their oil facilities to China; the facilities that do connect to China are pretty high-tech, have depended on western companies for maintenance, and don't have a lot of spare capacity.

I believe Russia is already working on building new pipelines to fix that. The Chinese also know how to build things fast, so that doesn't seem like an insurmountable problem.

> To get the oil from other regions, they'd have to rely on ships...

Is that a problem or just a small inefficiency? Because it doesn't look like a problem to me, short of an all-out war where you've got submarines attacking commercial shipping.

It's totally possible to use multiple forms of media an knowing that some of them are more survived than others and act accordingly.

Hey, the founder of dstack here.
If I put it shortly, dstack allows you to define ML workflows as code and run them either locally or remotely (e.g. in a configured cloud).
ML workflows here mean anything that you may want to do when you're developing a model - prepping data, training or finetuning a model, etc.
The value - basically it automates running your workflows, without being dependant on any particular vendor. At the same time, you don't have to rewrite your Python scripts to use a particular API (because dstack is using YAML).

We aim to build the most easy tool to run ML workflows - without making you use the UI of any vendor, or hustling with Kubernetes, custom Docker images, etc.

MLFlow doesn't do what dstack does (automatic infrastructure provisioning) - unless you use Databricks.
I'm not sure about every pension system, but there are many that invest in government bonds. The problem what that approach is the sustainability of the system depends entirely upon interest rates, which have been at all time lows for the past 15 years. Some private pensions invest in the broader market.

All investment systems suffer from this exact problem: returns aren't guaranteed. Even people with 401ks might experience this same issue if investment returns fall below the conventional wisdom rate of ~7% (or 4% real). But even if that rate holds up over the long-term, there's still to risk of a "lost decade" of no-returns or losses for and extended period, followed by a sudden market pop.

Pensions are hard.
And it wasn't a problem when the working age population was always increasing... but when it no longer is (as is the case in much of Europe) it becomes problematic.

No. That's not how it would be done at google. they invented a binary protocol to handle things like this reliably. And that protocol goes over an integrity-checking network transport. It's more likely an odd edge case occurred and somehow got past the normal QC checks- say, an RPC returned an error but the error handler didn't do a retry, it just fell through.
I would wager that most people are consuming way more sugar and artificial sweeteners in the form of beverages than food. Once you get used to drinking water as your primary beverage (unsweetened tea or coffee in the morning and beer in moderation on the weekend is fine) you will soon find yourself repulsed by soda, sports drinks, sweet tea, juice, etc. The amount of sugar (and/or artificial sweeteners) in this stuff is astounding.
Seems like a hard choice between two kinds of behavior that will annoy two different sets of people, and are mutually exclusive.

I saw the question, and thought maybe the recruiter was being literal about it being a formality...

So I asked "is a naive implementation fine"? The answer was a quizzical "... well I guess we could start there? But we're probably going to need at least <insert Big O notation for time> and preferably get to <Big O notation for time and space>", so I wrote out a completely naive implementation and switched to questions.

But you're right, I can't program. Not memorizing elaborate cache-unfriendly vectorization-unfriendly algorithms has made me unhirable.

There was a reason they were excited to talk to me, and I thought it was an impressive career of programming to solve hard problems that started from writing assembly games for calculators in middle school... but who knows, maybe it was my charming smile?

Luckily my smile got me hired by a company that's paying me a FAANG salary but hasn't had to lay off thousands (knock on wood)

It's not about morals. It's about wanting to get somewhere in cities in reasonable time, not breathing poisonous air and without fear of getting run over by a 2 ton SUV. Cars are just too inefficient (because of their size) and too expensive a solution. If you ban all of them in cities today and give people small electric vehicles (e-bikes, e-wheelchairs etc) personal transport would actually be faster (and healthier and safer and cheaper) plus we would free up a very significant % of most valuable land.
