Chalk it down to MDS - Musk Derangement Syndrome. There is something in Elon Musk which triggers people to start acting irrationally just like there is something in e.g. Donald Trump which does the same. It is probably related to the way they - Musk and Trump and others like them - act like they are not bound by the laws which keep others from attempting the types of ventures these often undertake as well as their lack of humility about them. Some are awed by their boldness and become fanboys, others are disgusted by their lack of humility and failure to abide by the standards and fall victim to some form of 'derangement syndrome'. When Musk started gaining successes with SpaceX and Tesla there were many articles posted by the 'fanboy' section of the crowd while those who started to suffer from DS were just waiting for him or his companies to trip somewhere, somehow so they could torch the man. His purchase of Twitter as well as the underwhelming performance (compared to the claimed capabilities) of Tesla's 'fully self driving' system have given them ample fuel just waiting for someone to put a match to.
Despite the many threads complaining about obvious spam going through, I find Gmail better on average than Outlook and ProtonMail. It also categorise the constant spam of ads and social networks into folders I never check.
> In a show of support, Zuckerberg said he understood that workers are feeling uncertain as they wait for the possibility that they could be laid off. He added, however, that “it’s not like we can just pause working while we are figuring this out.”

Why should a worker be motivated to do work if by the next day they could be gone?
I think that's why people need to look past the character and heresays and look at the facts and processes.

Ignore Assange's character, make him an anonymous person instead and think "is the process X person has gone through for Y actions reasonable/legal/supportable?"

Should whistleblowers be supported or vilified?
Bull bars defeat the whole pedestrian safety benefit.

The EU and UK have strict limits on what's allowed, the type you see in Australia and the USA are banned. It's frustrating that the first website I find selling something similar lists the main benefit of bull bars as "styling".

I fully support the people who vandalize vehicles with bull bars parked in urban areas.

The command line tools are enough. I have never used Xcode and I compile stuff all the time.
I think there's a big gulf in our industry between people who lived through 2008-2010, and people who didn't.

We might not go back to that dire of a situation, but I imagine it will be closer than we have been for quite some time. A lot of people see Zuckerberg as being an asshole, where really he is going above and beyond by being this communicative.

To be a CEO, you have to be a bastard sometimes. You don't have a choice. The trick is in the execution.
Superglue has a shelf life of about a year before it stops working as well. It will still harden, but doesn’t have the same strength.

I figure it’s six months old when I buy so in practice that almost always means “buy a new tube” if you need a full strength joint unless you use it regularly.
It forces you to search to do anything useful, since the grouping is all over the place, and the search feature is really poor.

What a huge win for Mac users.
You could argue twitter did that, how’s that going?
A "fatal error" in a totally unjustified and illegal war of aggression.
It sometimes seems like every web framework is run by people who see a minor problem and completely change their project to solve it. Flash back to 2014 when Rails made Turbolinks on by default, and broke everyone's SPAs. Flash back to Angular rewriting in Dart because "it's the future" (it wasn't). Flash back to React replacing the perfectly-fine functional components with hooks (because Vue did it).

And now React is throwing away its backend-agnosticism because they want to hold your hand and make sure you don't fail at SEO and blame React.

I don't know the exact issues but might be related to the issues why I left Apple : I was developing a very successful little tool for MacOS ( https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder ) which listened for keypresses. From 2016 to 2019 it became harder and harder to install it because apple added more and more restrictions to apps like this. By 2019, you had to enable the application explicitly to listen for events at least in three places deep down in the system preferences, click accept in various popups and if you stuck somewhere then nobody could tell why it wasn't working. So I had a very expensive laptop and the OS didn't let me use it freely. So I just switched to freebsd and linux. Hardware quality is far away from Apple's but it is cheap, I don't have fancy productivity apps like photoshop and final cut but with open source tools and with my own desktop applications I created the best looking/most usable desktop experience MacOS will never have.

I wonder why he'd transition to Raspbian and work on a Raspberry Pi.

Those are the first system preferences on macOS that are usable to me, and I'm not even a big iOS fan. The chaotic version before felt like Windows to me.
Sounds like you should start a fund?
React is important because they pushed a ton of money into devrel and a lot of people used it because Facebook was using it, not because it was breathtakingly advanced over the alternatives. If it hadn’t happened, something else would have and we might have been enjoying better-performing web pages for the last decade, too, without the mythology around virtual DOMs.
Some Ken Trivia:

The early versions of the Google Go compiler used Ken's C compiler (kencc, originally written for Plan 9) as part of the toolchain.

You could even run the bundled compiler directly on Linux, Windows, etc.

The title this post makes it seem like John Carmarck is concerned about AI making CS jobs obsolete. But that's not at all what this is. This is someone else asking Carmack about his thoughts on this topic.
You're right, thanks for the correction. I think I incorrectly combined "invented as part of WWII research" and "used on soldiers in Vietnam" in my mind and somehow came up with "invented for use on soldiers"
The jobs will change, from creating solutions, to verifying solutions and troubleshooting problems, and finding ways to ask it that will generate more appropriate solutions. It's Google++ but now you can't even trust the top post from stack overflow.
> BBSs were all text all the time — no graphics, no icons, or avatars to go along with your posts and musings.

ANSI/ASCII artists might beg to differ a little?

Of course you couldn’t plop down reaction gifs or a quick photo of something you saw. However, BBSs were often distribution paths for demos/intros/cracktros which contained plenty of rambling musings in their scrollers.
I literally don't get why microsoft is doing this to Edge. It used to be a pretty nice browser (when they rebooted it with a chromium engine, that is), even if I kind of disliked the UI. But now it's just the most tasteless feature dump of almost any browser I've seen. Even just opening it for the first time is a chore. I really wonder what's the internal politics around it. Is it victim of a lack of product "ownership" or management? Is it just multiple teams from different groups (office, teams, games (!)) doing whatever they want and just mashing everything together?

Edit: The absolute worst thing about it is how obscure and weird it can be with your microsoft account. I hope you never ever decide to log in with an AAD-linked account on your personal device :). I tried using the Teams webapp on mobile edge and it basically hijacked the browser, started requiring intune (just to use the browser!), meaning that obviously it didn't allow me to use the webapp at all without it (which was the entire point of trying the webapp). But it works just fine on Chrome! Amazing.

I don’t understand what this has to do with the article: are you saying that employees (and commenters) shouldn’t be mad about Meta’s actions because they’ve done other, important things?
You don't need to install XCode. You can install Clang easily, or GCC if you must. You can just install the XCode command line tools if you need them.
The dating part is like affected by an inability to socialise due to sitting at a machine all day everyday. Also massively harmful to one’s health - a cost often not factored in. It is only natural that not spending time with people will lead to a gradual regression in people skills.
React is THE web framework. The difference between react and previous frameworks is like night and day. Maybe nowadays people are seeing the rough spots with things like useEffect but pre-react web was literal hell for web development.

At most good data centers there are many peerings. We have infrastructure servers that have had near zero down time for years, including as measured by remote pings. Down time will be on the order of a minute or two a month (average) worst case. Sometimes it can be less.

The cost is less than a thousand dollars per month per drop with guaranteed 5gbps sustained bidirectional throughout. We can saturate this 24/7 at no additional cost. For a few thousand a month you can go up as high as 20gbps sustained. How much would that (fully saturated) cost at AWS?

Providers like Vultr and Digital Ocean charge 1/8 to 1/10 what AWS and Google charge per gig and make a profit. They are still much more expensive than raw connectivity.

My point is simply that cloud bandwidth pricing is massively inflated and that anyone who knows a tiny bit about tier-1 bandwidth knows this is almost pure profit for cloud providers. Bandwidth is very very cheap at peering points.

I’d be totally shocked if Amazon didn’t pay far less per unit for bandwidth than a typical colocation tenant due to their scale and negotiating power. The really big clouds even own some of their own tier-1 fiber.
There is zero reason to assume that sideloading will make jailbreaks easier. Anyone can already sideload today using a tool like AltStore [0]. It uses the same mechanism that app developers use to test their apps on actual hardware. The only difference to “real” sideloading is that Apple limits it to a maximum number of ten apps and that the apps need to be refreshed after seven days.

There's a few different kinds of cyanoacrylate, and the common one you find in super glue, ECA, can cause severe irritation. In a pinch it will work, but the two other common versions, BCA and OCA, tend to be much better for medical uses. Liquid bandage products tend to use one of those.

You also don't really want to be using it for long-term wound care because it's barely breathable and tends to not promote the best wound healing.
Ever since I spent enough time outside of the world I grew up in (semi-rural, very Evangelical Texas), I've been a bit sad at the loss of what we could have been had Carter managed to stay in office, and increasingly in the last few years as I think about how far we could have gotten with green energy if we'd stayed on the path we were on when he put those solar panels up on the White House.

Now I burn with rage when I think about what was taken from my own child while I was still a baby.

But of course the oil barons back home couldn't let us and the rest of the world get off the petroleum drug. Of course we couldn't have a center-left stream of Evangelical Christianity in the US - Carter, for those of you who are unaware, is a devout Christian who was teaching Sunday School at a Baptist church until around 2019 or so. The late 70s were also when the Fundamentalists started their fight with the Moderates (like Carter) in the Southern Baptist Convention.

Imagine being Saudi Arabia's National Bank

>Saudi Arabia's National Bank, which acquired 9.88% of Credit Suisse shares last year, said it would not buy more shares on regulatory grounds.

>"We cannot because we would go above 10%. It’s a regulatory issue," Saudi National Bank chairman, Ammar Al Khudairy said on the sidelines of a conference in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Wednesday.

>Al Khudairy said the value realisation of that investment will unfold as the Swiss bank proves they are doing the turnaround.

>"We are happy with the plan, the transformation plan that they have put forward. It is a very strong bank," he said.

>"I don't think they will need extra money; if you look at their ratios, they're fine. And they operate under a strong regulatory regime in Switzerland and in other countries," he told the Reuters news agency.

His comment will go into the history books for shutting up when your money is on the line.

They’re held back by robotics and energy storage more than anything. How would chatgpt paint my wall or fix my sink or install electrical wiring in my house?
I’m not against unionizing necessarily, but these are layoffs. They happen, they suck. The benefits of working at these places are INSANE and unless you are working on content moderation the work isn’t physically taxing/destroying your body etc.

All of these CEOs are nuts. They are all greedy. The capitalism-to-the-max model is less than great… but those of us in software are treated amazingly well.

I agree these people should pay for their bad decisions but some of those decisions gave us equity grants, sky high salaries, and free meals. We can’t act like we haven’t benefited.
Make sure you don't use cotton when you're doing this though.
> For most of my life I've adhered to this idea - however I've come to believe, against my own protests, that the universe does, in fact, embed something like a moral code

So what if it does?

Wow - who on earth would have believed that your pre-supposed moral sensibilities would both be completely correct and even coded into the fabric of the universe itself.

If the universe does in fact have a moral code as you suggest, there is every reason to think it might speak against anti-social behaviours and codes of sexual ethics that inhibit family formation and reproduction.

This is like a high leverage option trade except there is both unlimited downside and upside.
Meta staffers were sparring all the time when I was at then called Facebook company. It was during the last elections and it was excruciating. People would be very agressive during Q&A and internally in posts and groups. We should do this, we should do that, this is wrong, no THIS is wrong. Everybody had their righteous opinions on how the company and specific teams were supposed to work. I remember Mark becoming red with anger during some of these weekly Q&As, and the CTO looking like he was about to cry. Yet they still kept on going and continued to give these weekly Q&A (I think a lot of people respected them for that, even with the divisions I believe trust in mgmt was the highest metric at fb)

I remember fighting against Chinese groups criticizing western medias and talking about how tiananmen massacre is a hoax while Mark was publicly reprimanding the people who would scratch the “black” of “black lives matter” from some of the walls of the office to overwrite it with “all”.

During all that time the American people hated fb. HN couldn’t comprehend how engineers could accept to join and work at facebook. The social dilemma came out on Netflix.

As someone who really liked the facebook app and thought it would continue to change the world in a good way, it was really hard to read about the company externally and to see employees destroying it from the inside.

I think my opinion now is that 1) any type of organization becomes problematic once it gets too large/accumulates too much power (religion and the government are much more of a problem than Meta though) and 2) politics shouldn’t be allowed internally. People shouldn’t “come to work as themselves”. People really suck and they should keep a lot of things to themselves.

Ignore Assange's character, focus on leaks of dubious, probably state actor origin, precisely timed in their release. Focus on which state propaganda network hosted his show, whom he met with in the embassy, etc.
(1) See my reply to your sibling re build cost rundown :-)

(2) If you take a close look at the build, the module at the bottom is a little BMS board with a USB-C connector for charging!

That said, I made the battery detachable with glue-on velcro pads and also have a Riden bench PSU with a very convenient battery charging mode. Often I don't bother with a USB receptacle and charging circuit for DIY projects and just go that route.

(3) I currently use the gpt-3.5-turbo model on the OpenAI, which at present costs $0.002 for 1000 tokens. 1000 tokens are about 750 words. I make between 8 and 16 API calls to the OpenAI API for an update, with an in/out total of about 6000-8000 tokens on average (mainly because I am submitting the original article texts). I update the newspaper once a day in the morning. The total monthly cost is very low.
React and PyTorch are just libraries, with plenty of competition. The industry wouldn't be that different if everyone was instead using Vue or Angular or whatever other frontend JS library would've come along had React not. You're giving Facebook too much credit here. Most developers have never used any of these (me included).

I agree with the pushing up pay point. That was good, though it appears to be ending now.
I really think people don’t even know why unionizing was a thing back in the day. Dangerous conditions, back breaking labor, endless hours, checks don’t clear, wage collusion…

My main three asks for Ubuntu to replace my mac is -

1. Alternative to magnet or any window management systems that does not require elaborate tmux setup.

2. More adoption of snapstore and auto-updates.

3. Comparable performance and battery life to today's arm laptops.
I get irrationally angry when people imply that Mac and Linux are somehow similar, or interchangeable.

They are not! Not even close!

I think this is where a lot of the negative opinion of Linux comes from, people lament some issue they have with their Mac and someone else will say, "oh you should try Linux, it's really good now." And so they do and are surprised to find that experience is vastly different.

Linux is a great choice for people who want the highest degree of control and freedom over how they interact with their computer. The trade-off is that sometimes you have to futz with it or report bugs.

If you view your computer strictly as a tool to let you get other things done, then you want Mac. All of the OS and UX decisions have been made for you and you get what you get, but you (should) never have to tinker with the system itself.
That's not a response to the comment above's point.

Seeing the use cases they put forward they would probably have data that would be extremely easy to deanonimize.
It's not that more people can do programming with GPT-X around, because the AI will only solve the problems that have already been solved thousands of time in the past in slightly different ways. What GPT-X cannot do is left to real CS people. So instead of coding CRUD systems, we can do real algorithms research again, except fewer people are capable of it.
I don't know what you're talking about, it's a fairly common refrain here that AI will replace development jobs. There are some upvoted articles on musings about whether it's worth getting into the field right now.
