Probably true. But largely irrelevant.

> the cathedral can make a much better GUI than the bazaar.

Can is such an open ended claim it's impossible to judge (there's always another tomorrow). But does? Not so sure. I've used the big 3 extensively. I don't buy into the dafter reaches of Linux advocacy ("your great-grandmother could install it & have no problems & it's way easier than ...). But OTOH the annoyances I get from running Fedora as my main machine are at least no greater than I've had with Windows and MacOS. I prefer it because its balance of positives and negatives suit my preferences best; but I don't find any of the 3 main desktop OS's categorically superior. Admittedly that's because they're all pretty dismal. Every unhappy OS is unhappy in its own way. And every desktop OS is unhappy.

I have this list because I recently made a site[1] that displays the 4 images from a prompt of "Lotus, in the style of <paintername> <birth-death dates> [nation of origin]" for every painter listed on wikipedia's "List of painters" -- except for those in the above list.

The fact that they banned both Xi and Jinping separately to prevent Xi Jinping was surprising to me. Twice as banned as Adolf Hitler.

As the article points out, PPP adjustment is misleading. Since GDP is disproportionately contributed to by higher income / higher COL urban areas, but PPP adjustment is made based on the average COL (thus mostly weighted based on rural areas), such PPP based calculations are grossly misleading.

India certainly has had a substantial rise in GDP per capita, but the absolute prosperity is nowhere near $6800 GDP per capita.

If Apple made a larger MacBook I'd buy for sure. They don't of course, and those portable screens are no better (on multiple axes).

OTOH I don't care enough to mess with all of this dancing around SIP. Mostly I'd be happy if apps with tabs (e.g. Chrome or iTerm2) had a better official way to integrate into fullscreen by just avoiding the notch like iPhone apps can do.
It's still running code inside of the kernel. The point of a microkernel is to run as little in ring 0 as possible and have a very thin resource manger that can talk to system servers. The point of eBPF is to move even more stuff dynamically into the kernel to avoid expanding the kernel's static interfaces (syscalls).
OK, that's very cool.

The holy grail would of course be composing an example showing them being used together, but the expert mode answer was very, very useful and way better than existing search tools were able to do.

The year of the Linux desktop came for me in the early '00s. Since then, I find that there has been some improvements here and there but an overall general decline in usability and quality for desktop systems with GUIs.

I'm not at all a fan of gotcha puzzles, but I tend to think this is not one, at least not purely. It allows you to judge quite a broad range of problem solving approaches. You can argue about this puzzle not being relevant to a developer's day job and there's certainly merit to that, however I would argue that the part about realizing that the badly performing brute force approach is allowed is very relevant. The performance analysis and optimization maybe not in so much detail, though having a rough grasp of it been also be useful when there are concrete performance issues (but let's be honest: you can spend a lot of time without running into them).

I found one sentence very interesting:

> Moreover, the problem as I present it, has enough range to sift out bad candidates from good ones even if the candidates have seen the problem before, which is why I successfully used it even though it was banned at Google.

"In almost all cases the statistics show that crime is actually going down, but the media reporting is going up."

No, the statistics show that reports to the police are going down. The reports are NOT going down because crime is going down; they are going down because victims are less and less likely to report the crimes.

I assume they mean "atoms" as in physical material. I think they're saying physical sciences are stalling out and computer science is responsible for most growth now. I'm not familiar with this term though, and disagree with the sentiment.
I have limited experience even trying. But I did try it for some fundamental JS Web API stuff sans framework or library like IndexedDB, web sockets, and a basic, basic todo like app.

Neither of those three would function nor would they throw an error. Prompts to correct itself would not improve things.

So I did the natural thing and started to debug myself. At which point, I couldn’t help but ask myself why I was debugging machine generated code when I could not be lazy and actually build it from first principles.
They're not worth it to actually use unless you have unlimited amounts of money or you know there's a nuke on the missile.

The io_uring API is fairly narrow. It's basically the same interface as the kernel uses to talk to network cards and modern disks. Those are untrusted just like userspace is. You can look at the packet format here (section 4.1):

https://kernel.dk/io_uring.pdf

It's not hard to parse, and nowhere near the level of exposure eBPF creates.

If you don't trust the hardware MMU to allow the kernel to safely read buffers from userspace, then there's really no way to perform I/O in the first place. (write() already does this, for example).
Feedback: I tend to say thank you after an interaction with LLMs. Your model doesn't really understand what I'm asking and gives me more and more troubleshooting data, whereas the expected behavior would be a "you're welcome" or equivalent.

I know its probably not critical path but its one of those things that may help drive people's relationship and mindshare of the platform.
N being a positive number, maybe fractional. So one factory worker assembling sinks can supply sinks for five households. Of course there's a team of workers assembling the sinks, but you get the idea. In this example N=4.

> How do you measure the question's success? Is there some kind of feedback you get about how the person you made a decision about went on to perform?

Not the latter. However, there are five interviews that each candidate goes through, and as an interviewer you get to read the interview feedback written by the other interviewers as well. So I can compare my assessment of a candidate against four other interviewers' assessment using their questions and feedback notes and rating assigned.
The flip side, of course, is couples throwing completely repairable relationships in the garbage can and creating lifelong issues for their kids.

Whatever the ChatGPT API returns is “poisoned” by OpenAI themselves. The point of the reverse moderator is to ensure that the LLM produces the kind of output you want as a developer, including things like JSON schema conformance (OpenAI might throw a human-readable “As an AI blah” message in the place where you are parsing machine-readable JSON) - the reverse moderator takes care of detecting that and retrying, with the hope that a subsequent response will be “better”.

If you want a layer to moderate what the year is seeing, you can add that as well. The point of the reverse moderator is to get GPT to do what it’s told without lying about itself, more or less.

The profit incentive still functions to drive investment under deflation, because you can make more money from investment than letting money sit there.

US economy experienced massive growth through periods of deflation 1815 and 1860, and 1865 to 1900, as a result of industrialization and increased international trade.

I think people greatly overestimate the impact of monetary policy. Consumer demand and technological improvement drive growth more than anything. Climate change and rising oil prices drive investment in renewables for example. Consumer demand for computing drove technological improvements, which drove investment and falling prices. In my view, this would happen regardless of monetary policy.

Many here share that journey. For me, it was printing out the Gentoo "hard mode" installation guide where you compiled _everything_ from scratch, including the kernel.

Didn't make it but it taught me the terminal and some foundational concepts in an OS. Set me down the path of linux (ubuntu - bit easier to install) and hacking.

"Sugar pill" is a generic term for an inactive substance. It doesn't contain a meaningful amount of sugar, and similar effects are present using other substances. How would we test diabetes medicine if the only options were either medicine or sugar?

That's an increase of about 5% per year over 12 years. Average inflation is typically 3%. So on average adjusting for inflation, India grew by 2% per year. This small number does not seem like something worthy of a headline.
I’m not alleging there is no bias either. The reason that managing conflicting interests is important in the first place is because it’s not possible to objectively measure their influence.

There is also not an “appearance” of conflicting interests here. There is factually a conflicting interest between relying on an entity for funding, and an expectation that you’ll provide impartial media coverage of them.

This exists regardless of how small you think this reliance is. But even then, your attempt to minimise it is directly contradicted by NPR, who claim it is “essential” to their ability to operate.

> I'm sure that if he had to decide on a direction to pivot to today, it'd be towards generative AI

I'm pretty sure that I agree with you, but what would Facebook/Meta do with LLMs? You wouldn't want to generate fake people to interact with (well, someone might, but Facebook wouldn't). Because that's what data they had would have been useful for. I mean, if you can predict what a person will say, or how they will react to an ad, that has value... but I'm not sure I know where that value is for a Facebook, outside of better targeting of ads.

Maybe predicting consumer/voter sentiment about a policy or product before it's released?

The same applies to Google in aa certain respect actually. I assume they have enough data from gmail to effectively recreate a conversation with me. This could be lucrative for some targets (not me!), but probably not in a way that Google would be able to legitimately capture.

I could completely see how other actors would be able to use LLMs to predict or impersonate people on the Facebook/Google platforms, just not how the platforms themselves would be able to generate value.

Google at least could merge generic LLMs into their search mission to catalog the world's information. But that's a harder pitch to figure out how Facebook would generate value from it.

Am I missing something, or am I thinking too much about this like West World?

Because of all the subscriptions, I used to have a difficult time tracking them. A couple of times I had subscribed to services only for short term but then forgot to cancel them in time and they kept running for a few months. I think one was Amazon kids related digital product. Once I realized that I can’t trust myself to cancel the subscriptions on time, I started using Privacy.com cards. It allows you to limit the total spending limit on the cards. This has helped me a lot.

I also use them for free trials which require a credit card and then automatically convert into subscriptions after the trial ends. I create a one time card with $1 spending limit. Then when the trial ends and the vendor attempts to charge my card, it gets declined. So far this has worked beautifully.

Even reading the blog, after installing the windows app it's not obvious how to get to the machine learning demos.

Also, after I found the +smart button from another page, on windows it fails due to lack of make (and presumably a set of compiler tools). This was frustrating trying to demo for someone on their computer.
