You were doing so fine until the last sentence.
The federal reserve defines the "natural rate of unemployment" as being around 5%. This is just a number they made up that happens to be high enough to continuously erode the power of labor. If unemployment starts to dip below that, they raise the rates as quickly as possible. You can look at historical graphs of fed rate vs unemployment to verify. The rates are jacked up, it causes a recession. Unemployment increases. They reduce the rates, we recover from the recession, then they raise them as quickly as possible to stem "wage inflation" (a.k.a. people making more money) and within several months, the next recession starts.

The reason the wages don't rise with the prices is because that 5% are getting hired, and the under-employed are getting more hours, and they jack up the rates as quickly as possible as soon as they sense that wages are rising. However with the increased hours, and fewer under-employed there are people who couldn't afford toilet paper who are finally able to, and that increase the prices. That's not a bad thing. More overtime has a much bigger effect than increased egg prices to most people in low wage jobs. And lower unemployment improves their working conditions as well. It's still essentially a transfer of shares to the broke, even if the wages don't directly increase. Also, a lot of the inflation that was happening this go-around was due to rich people with their PPP loans being able to speculate. Taxing the rich at a more progressive rate as was done in the 50s and 60s would be an alternative way to stem inflation besides using the fed rate. But of course they haven't touched that one in a while.

It's not just trump and sanders that are populists looking for lower fed rates from the central banks. In most countries I think you'll find that the populist parties (i.e. the party with most representation among the poorest) tend toward pushing for lower interest rates and more government spending. You'll also find that those representing the rich tend to push for austerity. There's a reason for that. And it's not that the populists are all working together. You can tell they have much more disparate values than the centrist globalists who want high rates.
Do you regret not trying to start one?
> I agree that the implementation in Chrome that allows websites to request notification permissions on any page load is pretty annoying.

FF does pretty much the same thing.

With phone apps I sort of get it: you are already installing something and clearly have a long-term relationship with the provider of such an app and the app likely has functionality that you need badly enough that having the app alert you makes sense.

But for me the web is 'transient', even as the maker of a SPA I wouldn't dream of bugging my users outside of their own decision to come back to the site. All this needy software is - to me - just a source of irritation.
>In a vacuum, sure. But that anonymity has costs in making it easy for the wealthy to embezzle, evade taxes and commit crime.

And removing financial privacy gives governments the ability to destroy anyone financially. Need I remind you that in the 20th century governments killed orders of magnitudes more people than terrorists or criminals, almost 100 million in China and Russia alone. Giving power to the government is a far greater risk than letting some white collar criminals get away with it.
I explicitly measured my words when I said “good” - india has a metric ton of engineers most employed in the WITCH consultant shops and none of them know any real programming. The median gets affected by it. A lot. Any decent engineer at the level GitHub would hire would get 40 lacs per annum INR the first year after graduation (very conservatively) which is $50k usd. Someone working at GitHub or any top tier startup or FAAnG after 4-6 years of experience would be making north of 100-150k usd.
You're neglecting capital costs and the dominant market position GitHub has.

Capital being spent on GitHub to develop it could be used elsewhere or banked as profit if you had a smaller team.

GitHub isn't in a position that it's market dominance will be threatened by a slower pace of development.

You're also talking in absolutes, GitHub says there's a 40% productivity boost from using ai. Assuming (simplistically) that this results in a 40% required headcount reduction for the same output, you can then see:

0% headcount reduction, 40% improvement in velocity

40% headcount reduction, 0% improvement in velocity

Scale these two factors mentally to see that it's not all or nothing, maybe they've gone 20/20 and so some people still get to keep their jobs.

The ones that do have an impact on me:

Caffeine for focus.

Magnesium and CoQ10 helps me for energy.

Creatine monohydrate for exercise and memory.

Vitamin E for skin and itchiness. I don't take it but my wife does.

Yes, most of these were recommended by a doctor. I'm not a doctor. This is not medical advice.
Looks really cool Appreciate the gifs you created to demonstrate how it functions. I'm looking forward to use it with the Windows launcher once you adapt it.
I can't believe a 300 pages book is needed to just talk about initialisation in C++!!! Now I understand why Linus refused this craziness in the Linux kernel. I genuinely believe that C++ is just a toxic wasteland of time. It's not even that productive, fun to work with or secure. I would take C, Rust, Golang, Python anywhere, anytime.
That is an absurd question and may I bring the absurdity to it's final form? where do the calories in the plant then come from? Is the next raccomandation to eat CO2 and Sun Rays?
> What most people consider a rhyme is that the vowel and coda of the last syllable match

??? Oh yeah, says who?

protein / poutine

p[]oh teen / poo teen => both start with a p, then there's an oh or oo (which are similar) and both end the same way – disyllabic rhyme

cactus / practice ?

[]ah ck təss / []ah ck tiss => ignoring the first consonant (cluster) which anchors the rhyme and pronouncing the u as a schwa (which it is), the ck's are the same and təss and tiss are totes similar – disyllabic rhyme

skeleton / gelatin ?

trisyllabic goodness – again, the way we pronounce the on in first word is not like the on in frond but like the ən in motion (UHn) and the way we pronounce the at in the second word is not like the at in bat or cat but like the ət in … hmm, none spring to mind but it's an UHt sound here if you listen to it – sgɛ́lɪtən or ˈskelɪtən – ˈʤelətɪn – so you've k vying with g (both hard), e with e, l with l, ɪ with ə (close sounding!), t with t, ə with ɪ (close sounding!), n with n

Looks nice but I have to play with it more. It has certainly been "Appleinzed". Playlists feature single movements of pieces that make little musical sense outside of the context of the whole composition they were meant to be a part of. For new users looking to dop their toes in the Classical world the absolute first, featured piece you see is Mahler's 9th symphony. Certainly not something new listeners would likely enjoy as a starter piece. Search looks good and the browse part offers good choices of the various genres. It imported all my classical albums and only my classical albums from Apple music. Good start
I get your point and am on neither side of the fence here, since I do not think, we should rely on individual action at all.

I just want to add to the conversation, that somehow your reasoning strikes me as a bit selfish. It is of course true, what you are writing. Still reading it, makes me sad. I am missing some higher meaning. Who cares about a career in the end? A career in our system is just a story of someone, who exceeded at providing value. But for whom, if you do not have kids?

I am missing a bit of Kant in there. A little bit of "You get one (life), you give one back." We (including you) just cannot all do it like that, if we do not want to end our lives rather uncomfortably. So again something about ultimate maximes and what they should be.
Totally agree, also, change one thing at a time. Give it some weeks/months to see if what you changed works for you.
I tried it but it didn't work well for me.

Many people are so starved of any kind of creative education that they see art in purely a utilitarian point of view. It doesn't matter to them if a human made it, the outcome is the same. To them, yeah pretty much all art is like a screensaver

Again, that's a belief :). Could totally be that they never become a thing, and nobody would be surprised.
I'm not sure what to think of this honestly :)

What you created looks cool and interesting, but I'm failing to see how you "replicated Canva's functionality"? You seem to have replicated the Templates, yes, but I'd be doubtful about the functionality (which is quite a thing).

Also, what I'm curious is - what's the general idea of this and what does it have to do with fact that you were rejected?
AI might be the new gold rush but the industry still needs metallurgists and jewelers (those on the application/plugin layer) and the gold rush needs shovels (cloud and hardware).

I know about nyquest, do you? 192kHz sampling rate means the highest tone representable is 96kHz, which is roughly 80kHz more then what the average human can actually (still) perceive.

For audio-postprocessing, I might be convinced that there is a benefit of raising the sampling frequency that high, but for pure hi-fi consumers? No way. This is snakeoil.
While I do agree: "keep your hands off my computer", There's a huge difference in wanting to close down a computer and wanting cryptography software banned.

Government don't care if you use open or closed source software, in fact it probably welcomes hackable (as in easy to tinker with, more moving parts that they could easily extract data from) open computers more.
>I think (hope) that is still off in the distance.

It's being rumored that OpenAI is currently training GPT-5 which will be ready in December, and that many people in the company think it will be a human or better level AGI. Even if it isn't the consistently supersonic jumps they are making every generation suggests we don't have long until human brains are outmoded legacy hardware.

>We’d have other problems than scaling crud apps, I think.

Ever since I first interacted with the original GPT-3 in 2020 I've had the realization that our future was going to be curtailed and distorted into an inconceivable Escher piece. It seems that future is nearly upon us.
I think OpenBSD has tunnel vision on the wrong part of an exploit. Like they'll read a blog post on how to construct a ROP chain and instead of figuring out how you might prevent someone from subverting control flow they look at the tool used to find gadgets and try to make that harder. Or if they see exploits that spray syscall instructions they will block them in JIT regions. The problem here is that these aren't actually the hard parts that need significant effort to change for an attacker, they're really just whatever happened to be convenient. You can do a very specific mitigation that e.g. hardens a problematic API but you really want to make sure an attacker goes "hmm, I am not really sure what I would do if you blocked this, I guess I'll have to think for a while about how I might even get started" versus "sigh, this is annoying, guess I need to try the other way that is a little more work".
If “near future” is 3-5 years then yes. Four interesting protocols in early development: Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, Scroll. These already all compete with PayPal in fees & transaction time, but not in UX, features, and widespread use. In theory they could provide similar frontend web UX, but with the option to hold tokens non-custodially so you could withdraw & exit the protocol without having to ask permission.

(IMHO it’s likely that other tech/protocols will emerge in 3-5 yrs that supersedes the protocols in development today.)

Lots of typical crypto caveats - eg: USDC on an L2 is centralized around Circle’s ability to redeem. Protocols can have bugs that make coins go poof. Non custodial ownership is harder for many users than asking PayPal or a bank not to lose their funds. L2s specifically are typically run by a single sequencer who could potentially disrupt your ability to use the network smoothly (but then you could use an escape hatch to permissionlessly get your funds out if that happens).
The amount of privesc I used to get with initscripts is insane.

Systemd took away all that.

Lmao, I had phones before the iPhone, Ericsson especially that had decent (ie usable) browsers, could play mp3 files etc. And you could install apps on them over wap, take photos/videos etc.

iPhone couldn't take videos as people have already mentioned, couldn't install any 3rd party apps to start with (because Mr. Jobs didn't believe in it), no selfie camera, no torch.

All the iPhone did was streamline people's interaction with the phone, with a large multi-touch display and a simple, intuitive (not anymore though) operating system. They definitely improved things, but in the way that Apple usually does; wait for other companies to do the things, then take the cream of the crop, iterate/improve on them, wrap them up/lock into ecosystem (which some people like) and ship.
This also applies to more complicated things than bouncing around a rectangle.
For instance, solving a Towers of Hanoi puzzle, where the i'th step in a solution is to move a disc from peg (i&i-1)%3 to peg ((i|i-1)+1)%3). (Note that for even #discs, peg 1 is the destination). Example for 3 discs:

i i-1 i&i-1 from i|i-1 to
1 0 0 0 1 2
2 1 0 0 3 1
3 2 2 2 3 1
4 3 0 0 7 2
5 4 4 1 5 0
6 5 4 1 7 2
7 6 6 0 7 2

I'd have to disagree. Classical music would be the LAST thing AI could do well. Hard to but technique, nuance, opinion, interpretation, style and the greatest utterances of our troubled civilization into an algorithm. Pop, dance, rap, blaalads....maybe. Classical and Jazz? Never going to happen.
Are there start ups that you’re thinking of this competes with directly?
This looks like a great tool, I would like to ask if it really is AI-powered?

AI is a term that's been heavily co-opted by the expert systems crowd, especially when marketing solutions.

Does this tool actually learn from user input and improve output accordingly? That would be my definition.

Whichever way this was built it's a useful tool, thanks!
Maybe. It currently can't do everything so the comparison isn't person vs LLM, it's person who uses LLM vs person who doesn't. And the people who do are much more productive. So by giving up, you're making yourself obsolete faster.

Will we ever get to the point where it does everything independently? No idea. But right now your reaction is premature.
inkscape iirc :) At the time I wanted a tool that would typeset text I write into geometric kufic and have some parameters that one can tune to e.g. control curvature, colors, ...etc but it'd have been too big of a bikeshed.
I love how patient classical music fans are when people ask THE SAME QUESTION over and over and over again on forums as to why there’s a need for a separate classical music app. You classical music fans rock…
Firstly, the Verge is trash source, no better than the Daily Mail in their reporting alongside their affiliate marketing grifting with clickbait.

Secondly, a better solution is a multi-billion dollar fine for TikTok's egregious invasion of privacy and the like, worse than the other tech companies and they also got massive fines.

Either TikTok pays a multi-billion dollar in the US or they exit the US market. This is much better than a ban and a win-win-win for TikTok, US gov. / regulators and the users and the ball is in TikTok's court.

Yeah: I largely think phone calls are stupid, have been using text communication since I was a kid 30 years ago--on BBS systems originally!--and you have no hope of reaching me in a timely manner if you call me... but I'm not going to use that as a reason to make it harder for other people to use phone calls if they want them, even if I see no reason for synchronous communication to exist: you do you... but you also have to let me do me or you frankly don't deserve to be able to do you. "I don't find this useful" is only a reason to prevent other people from being able to have the feature if you are an authoritarian asshole, plain and simple :/. If you don't like aspects of feature, you know what? You should get to turn it off... and, it turns out, you can.
Real low-level assembly language probably is easier to really understand and reason about than C++, isn't it?

I used to code in C++ with Borland C++ Builder and it felt almost the same like doing WinForms with C# pracrtically but once you want to really understand the language and what's going on the deeper level C++ seems infinitely obscure.
> The Simulation actually has a bug. If you resize the window to be smaller you can trap the DVD logo on an edge. Resizing the window in the Animation solution means we recalculate to the correct position.

Hmmm....that depends on what you define as the "correct" position. With the stateless version, any resizing of the window will cause the logo to instantaneously jump to where it would have been, and start moving in the direction it would have been, if the window had been the new size all along.

Is that the correct behaviour though? Or would you want the logo to keep moving from it's current position, in it's current direction, if that were possible?
Exactly! I’m so glad you posted this. It’s “covers” all the way down.

Agree that true consensus is rare, albeit only a problem in some fields. Physics and chemistry have no problems obtaining consensus on many facts, for example.

I don't recognize that last part at all. Feels sometimes like modern news articles aren't complete without some academic "expert" popping up and telling people what to think. Most universities outright encourage researchers to talk to the media these days, and it's not like they needed encouragement to start with.
They're already having that:

> Spam is by definition unsolicited email (often commercial in nature) from someone you never have had any sort of (business) relationship with.

Can you provide a reference to that definition?

I have checked on merriam-webster, oxfordreference.com, oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com, and wikipedia. None of them include the "from someone you never have had any sort of (business) relationship with" clause. Or even anything which could be read that way.

> Yes, it is super annoying that they automatically sign up your address for marketing

Yes, super annoying. And also spam. If I didn't ask for it it is spam. If they trick you to "agree" to it (for example by having a checkbox where checking the box means you don't want to receive emails) without you realising, that is still spam.

> there is a way to unsubscribe

Sometimes. Doesn't make it any less spammy.
That’s even more crazy.

Patching one app into another for improved UX and categorization is bonkers.

Also, my kid wanted to use Apple Music classical first thing this morning (he’s a big classical music nut), you literally have to be logged in to regular Apple Music before Classical will allow you to play anything. Weird.

Would say maybe for GitHub, as they are the core company that is driving AI for coding, they might need more devs, not fewer of them in regular years.

AI's impact will come, in next several years, but now it is too soon.
It's not to just talk about initialisation in C++, it's to to just talk about modern initialisation in C++! Imagine how much more ther is if you wanted to know everything about initialisation in C++ not limited to the modern things.
What's selfish about not having children? To whom or to what do I owe bringing a child into the world?

It's more likely the opposite: a lot of people would agree that their parents' decision to have children, particularly at a time when they couldn't afford them or lacked the mental strength to care for them and raise them in psychological safety, was selfish.
Wrap it in a 'tech lead' loop that will keep asking for fixes until the resulting code compiles, and you can replace a good chunk of outsourcing.
I feel the same. There are millions upon millions who use a fossil-fuel-powered wheelchair to get anywhere outside of their own house. The house opposite me right now has no less than three SUVs and they are all obese, including the dogs. I was depressed for years trying to live minimally and "do the right thing". Now I've adopted a can't beat 'em, join 'em approach. I just do what I want with little regard to my footprint, just like everyone else.
