I honestly think people were resigned to the previous poor level of the app/website, and of course you are right, they now can use it and any regressions that have been actually introduced as a stick to beat an ideological opponent with.

Even a cursory search of HN brings up absurd bugs[1]:

> Slightly related but very interesting: the 2010 Twitter bug where simply tweeting "Accept [username]" would automatically force them to follow you.

From what Musk has told us since he took over, and others it sounds like an unholy mess behind the scenes. From [2]:

> In Tuesday's hearing, which ran for more than two hours, Zatko painted a portrait of a company plagued by widespread security issues and unable to control the data it collects. Calm and measured, he stuck closely to his expertise, unpacking technical details of Twitter's systems with real-world examples of how information held by the company could be misused.

> "It's not far-fetched to say that an employee inside the company could take over the accounts of all of the senators in this room," he warned.

From [3], a Twitter engineer on the work ethic:

> “If you’re not feeling it, you can take a few days off,” he was recorded saying. “People have taken months off.”

> “I basically went to work like four hours a week last quarter,” he added. “And it’s just how it works in our company.”

Which tells me a lot. And should we forget about this doozy from Dorsey's days in charge?[4]

> Oh, and while he was in charge, there was no backup of Twitter’s database.

I could go on for a long time but it's clear that people are being selective with their memories.

If it's brutal for a person with 15+ years of experience, I don't even want to imagine what it's like joining the job market with 0 years of experience now.
I can imagine that. My personal take is that people who have a good sense of balance can't handle VR when the player moves. Games like Beat Saber get around this by making it feel like the objects are coming at you, rather than you at them, but when you're physically moving around in the world (and especially in non-standard ways like would be the case in a Portal game) people start to feel sick while playing.

Maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it?

I would looove to try moving VR games with an omni-treadmill some time!
How could it not be innate? One of the most noteworthy properties of humanity is our tendency throughout history to make unparalleled technological progress. Surely something like that requires a dissatisfaction with present conditions.

It seems more probable that marketing, like most things that work well, take advantage of our evolved properties.
As someone else pointed out in another comment, htmx is not a replacement for JS frameworks. It is a way to add some level of interactivity without needing to learn too much about UI development. The authors actually recommended coupling htmx with a client side framework if your needs are more complex.

Typically this can be achieved by either soaking the individual spices out in the heat, or a partial roast.
This works for certain kinds of products. Some products can only be bought in bulk from a manufacturer, requiring you to go to a physical store or webshop to purchase smaller quantities.
I'm not sure how they actually go about doing that though. Unless of course you enter your key and decrypt client side, which I suspect the majority of users won't like.

There is nothing stopping this from being implemented in ActivityPub too, and in fact there are already pub/pri keys there to do this. However you still need to trust that the instance you are on and the one your are communicating with play by the rules.
On windows 10 I have purposely enable the setting to open Snip & Sketch. When I press the button, all the screen goes darker, and then I can simply drag to select a rectangle. When I let go of the mouse, the selection is copied to the clipboard and no extra app is kept open, except for a notification that disappears in a few seconds.

I'm now ready to paste it everywhere, which is my main user case.

Do I need to paint on it? Click the notification and edit as you want, then control+c and continue.

Need to save to a file? Click the notification and press the save button.

Need to make a window screenshot or a full desktop one? After the screen goes dark you have buttons at the top to change the selection mode.

To me this makes the most sense, saving directly to a file that you later need to find and open to edit/copy is rather slow, except if you want to user it as a "visual background log" maybe...

After All Is Said and Indexed – Unlocking Information in Recorded Speech
A really interesting blog post I found using LLMs for audio search which I think is a pretty nifty/new idea.

I've found it cumbersome using some of the new vector DBs (chroma, faiss, etc) to make end to end systems, but with Marqo it doesn't seem too hard.
Full title: "Mathletes and Poets: Allies at Last! // In “Once Upon a Prime” Sarah Hart explores the surprisingly deep relationship between mathematics and literature".

Also noted in The Economist:

> In “Once Upon a Prime”, a book published this week, Sarah Hart explores the links between maths and literature. The author—who in 2020 became the first woman to hold the professorship in geometry at Gresham College in London—argues that paying attention to numbers can open up new meanings in novels and poems. She analyses the role maths plays in literary works such as “Life of Pi” and “Moby Dick”.

Get to keep making those changes for yearly employee evaluation.

Same applies to other commercial OSes, Google IO hardly brigns anything new that I care about for Android since several years, I already lost track of how many times they have rebooted background services or notification APIs.

The Year of Desktop Linux would be nice, yet even there I lost track of how many audio stacks, laptop support, distribution specific changes just because, and what not, has happened during the last 25 years.
I use Google Search because the results are superior to Bing or DuckDuckGo, across many instances during the day.

Or if they’re not superior they’re not inferior.

Whereas when I use other search engines I have the nagging feeling I’m missing better information on Google.
Just to expand on the above, as two days later I now feel it is hard to understand how my reply is related to imtringued‘s last paragraph (“if you can fix the asymmetry or eliminate the zero lower bound it doesn't actually matter what form your money takes”):

If you don’t allow banks to “print debt” out of thin air by eliminating fractional reserve banking, as Daly suggested in his work, I believe you eliminate that asymmetry. Actual money is lent, actual money has to be returned.

The question that remains then is if it is valid to ask for interest on that money. But I believe that is acceptable, and the rate might be set to 0% or even negative in the right circumstances.

That's ok. If it's a good idea, somebody else will talk about in a positive way.

Also, unless you are reading every comment in every thread, you are going to miss a few interesting ideas anyway. That's ok too.
Google Docs is only publishing one thing to one user, unlike ChatGPT which may well publish the same thing to several users, and is giving output of an entirely different nature to a word processor. Spelling corrections are only answers when used in a spelling test.

For the CRUD app writers - yeah this is bad news. But it was always clear that it was a bubble. If you're actually solving new problems, it works more like code completion.

Unix was written in assembly with the Ed editor. Even Notepad and any modern language probably represents a 100x increase in productivity compared to that - much more than ChatGPT can do. The field of software engineering will only grow from this.

From what I've seen - most places have way more work than available programmers. Jira tickets stay unsolved for years. Maybe with the increased productivity we can actually clear our backlogs one day.
I mean, I sure hope any junior intern developer is better than ChatGPT at writing actually working code. Converting from one language to another of a solution that exists in its knowledge base is not how one should program.
That is a darn fine spreadsheet in the console.
I am tempted to try it!
Consider a signal whose value at x seconds is f(2x) - 2 f(3x) + f(4x), where f(x) = sin(2πx)/x. Considering that the absolute frequencies of f(x) are uniformly distributed from 0 to 1 Hz, the absolute frequencies of this total signal should be constrained to between 2 and 4 Hz. Thus, a bandwidth of 2 Hz. But if we sample at 6 Hz (three times the bandwidth!) including x = 0, we'll get all zeros.

Granted, we might say that from the perspective of the complex Fourier transform using signed frequencies, the frequencies of this signal actually range over [-4 Hz, -2 Hz] U [+2 Hz, +4 Hz]. But I'm not sure that's the interpretation you had in mind.

Let me know if I've screwed anything up here!
I also read about these designers, I really don't get it.

Then again, it fits the ongoing mess of GUI civil war happening in Redmond across Forms, WPF, UWP, WinUI, MAUI, MFC and of course one gets to put Blazor everywhere there is a Web widget, including the previous set of GUI frameworks.

There were complaints among the Roman elite about the "decadent" silk dresses worn by women, e.g. Seneca the Younger:

"I can see clothes of silk, if materials that do not hide the body, nor even one's decency, can be called clothes. ... Wretched flocks of maids labor so that the adulteress may be visible through her thin dress, so that her husband has no more acquaintance than any outsider or foreigner with his wife's body."
An absolutely horrible, horrible message. The worst part is that this sentiment creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I think the opposite. Sure, in your example that is true, but that's assuming we speak to the code line by line, in English.

But we don't, really. Example:

Opus does support adaptive bitrate audio and in basically the same way; with the reference encoder, you can use OPUS_SET_PREDICTION_DISABLED to create a stream access point.

Loudness management isn't really the purview of the decoder/compressed format itself; the article describes using MPEG-D DRC which is, at least in principle, independent of the choice of xHE-AAC vs. Opus. To be clear I have no idea how companies do dynamic range compression in practice; in the Web setting, maybe via stuff like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DynamicsCom... etc.?
This happened at a place i used to worked at as well, a supposedly "flat company" without hierarchies.

The implicit hidden hierarchies - based partly on charisma and friendship - increased the effort to do anything, and especially the mental stress of having to keep the double-think alive.

I think for less socially adept people these companies are a nightmare. The entire direction of the company was decided by a cliquie implicit power holders with no accountability, as these could always play on the "flat structure and we all share responsibility and accountability"

While that is true for most smaller farms - there simply is no way a small farm can afford the capital expenditure of someone who could be working day-to-day spending years in study, it still holds true that farmers by necessity are excellent jacks of all trades. You simply do not make enough money off of the farm to rent professional help whenever something goes wrong.

Just one data point - when the clutch on our 1994 (methinks) Case tractor broke a few years ago, the quoted cost for having a new one installed was close to $5,000. My father-in-law and I spent two days splitting the tractor, refurbishing the clutch using a $250 kit and reassembling it. No expensive or fancy tools, but a lot of headscratching and educated guesses, plus we needed to craft a couple of rather large stands and jigs using timber already on hand.

The $4,750 thus saved is more than we make annually from renting out the fields to a nearby farmer (We just live on the farm, we're not working the land nor having any animals anymore.)

I believe this situation is rather typical on smaller farms - you have to make things work on your own or with the help of friends and neighbours, or you're SOL.
Maybe this should be good lesson for everyone. Do not submit binding offer to buy something unless you are willing to go through with it or the clauses involved are absolutely clear.

>“The analytics on the YouTube side, as they relate to other social sites, are pretty granular. You can get some really rich insights into the types of folks who are consuming your content from an audience level, from a subject level, from age, gender, country, and even city. You can really see in real time — and then over the course of days, weeks, months, years — what’s resonating with your audience and refine accordingly,” Foss said. “I would say [YouTube] is one of the platforms that the more time that you invest in studying your own analytics, and invest with folks just spending time with the platform, the more you get rewarded, and the more you’re able to build and grow and scale.”

>“We’re just trying to get a sense of what the audience might like, and not necessarily trying to build an audience around this content right now,” Jenkins said. “Our audience-building efforts are really taking place on Instagram, where we have a very robust NPR presence with our news content, as well as NPR Music.”

>“We don’t do this in isolation. We do this as part of our overall podcast strategy and part of our overall content strategy. We’ve got levers that we’re pulling and pushing and this is one of them,” Jenkins added. “We are open to seeing it build over time — and we’re also open to changing course, depending on what makes the most sense.”

Overcoming Information Overload as a New Mom or Dad
If you know the signal is periodic with known frequency/period, you can be clever and sample it at that that frequency +/- a small offset. The frequency spurs then will not fall on top of each other and you can "unwrap" them to give a more complete picture of the signal. In that way you could determine whether a signal with a known frequency of 1Hz is a sawtooth or sine.

Nyquist more or less says "If I you know nothing about the signal, by sampling at X Hz, you can determine what the signal looks like over a bandwidth of 0 Hz to X/2 Hz". If you have additional knowledge about the signal (eg. band limited, periodic or other) you can exceed those limits.

It can also be looked at from an information viewpoint. Nyquist says "if you sample a signal at a certain rate you will get a certain amount of new information about it". You might "spend" this information by saying something about the signal over the band DC-f/2, or you might choose to say something about the signal over a different band of frequencies. In the example above we chose to say something about a set of discrete harmonic frequencies over a very wide bandwidth, ignoring the frequencies in between the harmonics as the 1Hz constraint told us they will be zero.
