If you mean they're uncomfortable with 15 minutes of leeway as in the rider steps in the car 45 min before their desired arrival time, then it seems trivial to just request the Uber further ahead, next time?

I understand it's a bit more difficult if the matched driver gets into an interminable argument beforehand.
Which worst-case scenario would you choose?

a) the trademark getting invalidated

b) creating a chilling effect which robs the community of momentum on meetups, books, tutorials or even just really enthusiastic fan/technical channels like for example https://www.youtube.com/@NoBoilerplate

The problem with a IDGAF mentalities is you're optimizing for satisfying personal expression, not a balance between a low-stakes ostracization and those glimmers of brilliance that keep you in the loop. You're drawn to misanthropes and those who promote IDGAF aims for IDGAF sake.

I feel this is what happened to Louis C.K. After being ousted from the mainstream comedian community for his antics, he's become more beholden to the smaller subset of his audience that will worship him no matter what, so he gets high off his smaller cult following and less receptive to the larger scale waves of feedback and sentiment he got from his forays into the mainstream. As a result his recent specials have been more mediocre.

The frustrating thing is that it seems that the only people allowed to be truly transgressive and also mainstream are the conventionally attractive. We reward handsome and pretty people for "pushing the envelope" because the dopaminergic quality of their face and build allows all the weird stuff to go down easy. That allows those more genetically blessed to be more free to experiment and express their true selves.
Mostly because I thought of it more as an art project than a technical accuracy project. However, the honest answer to your question, is because I have a ridiculous amount of photos of my dog on my phone . Getting training data is hard work.

But this is totally true, I found that maybe 30% of the images I generated did not look like my dog at all. However the rest do a good job at capturing his eyes and facial expressions that he actually makes. I thought that the chosen image I worked from captured the look of his eyes super well.

But yeah, nobody but me would really appreciate that.
> £3.49/month ($4.33) subscription, 7 days free trial.

I always appreciate it when apps are up front with their cost, but I didn't see anything about price in this post or on the Play Store. I always feel tricked when this happens.

I have to provide my billing details and sign up to a subscription just to test the browser. Of course, I can cancel the subscription before the trial ends, but I'll definitely forget to do that.

For that reason, I can't provide any feedback on the app itself, only the barrier to entry I'm faced with before I can try it.

That's not to say I'm happy with "free" browsers like Google Chrome, because they certainly aren't up front with their cost of use.

Well the generated remaps are a single .vim file, even on a different machine I can just grab it from my sourcehut.
That's a bit of a non sequitur. Quotes no longer working doesn't have anything to do with the JavaScript on the website. My theory about this is that Google has slowly and steadily A/B tested every useful feature out of their product, and I assume that's because power users are simply a statistically insignificant group.

Have you ever worked in a (>30)-person company?

Edit: as dang posted the original article ("a principle with much broader utility than in software engineering"), I guess another example is the "county sheriff" and their occasionally newsworthy antics in the States. Reading about them from a country where counties are not a thing (nor do we suffer from their lack) makes me think the politicisation of the sheriff's office may be a less software-oriented example of Conway's law.
Kind of? Certainly many countries “fetishize” American culture, to a degree. Same with French and Italian culture (especially as it relates to fashion and food). Some stuff is just popular? Certainly things related to Korean and Japanese cultures are popular throughout Asia, as they are in the West, right now.

I find SWA the fastest boarding but after boarding is complete there is a 5-10 minute delay from the gate agents delivering documentation to the pilots, as opposed to airlines like Delta where boarding absolutely takes longer but once boarding is complete, the plane quickly leaves the gate. In the end it feels like they take the same amount of time.
You're basically fucked if you want search results for a different location, and increasingly more fucked if you want them in a language that's not the dominant language of the region you happen to log in from. All of that used to be easy.

I live in NYC and I occasionally pitch friends on the idea that the greatest underutilized resource in the city is the thousands of miles of subway track. The vast majority of the physical track surface sits unused by the current layer of 8 and 10 car mass people mover trains due to limitations in the ancient signaling and scheduling system. Improving those systems has been a multi-decade boondoggle. In contrast, we should have the tech capability now to run an autonomous fleet of individual tiny cars- 5 to 10 person capacity per car, no more- that can make point to point trips anywhere in the system. This fleet should be able to be run along with the existing mass people movers, as another layer of service on the same infrastructure, and of course for an extra fee. The benefits for all would be enormous. Hope "micromobility" includes ideas like this! Good luck!
Thanks. They aren’t necessarily the best ones - I just uploaded some quickly. Like I said, they still need final touches too. I probably should have worked on the prompt a bit more before I went all in too.

For anyone else doing it, the ability to do something like [vaporeon:cinderdog:.5] so it starts with a specific Pokémon and transitions into the dog later was great for some types.

I still have my Sprint plan. This is how it works by default. (Sprint + gvoice = google fi; before gfi you could merge your gvoice and sprint accounts which was really cool. Then they cancelled that and started gfi) Since the TMo merger, I suspect gfi is still using the Sprint stuff.

> More proper criticism could be in the direction of "you can produce pleasing graphics but you may not know what you are doing".

I don't get this. If one "can produce pleasing graphics," how does that not equal knowing what they're doing? I only see this as being true in the sense of "Sure, you can get places quickly in a car, but you don't really know how it works."

What's DFW?
In theory, the solution in situations like this is to continue the test over a longer time. Typically with ‘holdbacks’ – subsets of users who don’t get a feature for a long time. This is easier if you have an app that everyone uses because with a website, it’s harder to reliably find holdbacks who are also a representative sample (eg it won’t work so well to hold back everyone using the site in a certain language as those people may be statistically different from the general population in other ways).

There are still a bunch of problems – higher maintenance burden, harder to iterate on a site quickly. Though I think you identify what I would consider the bigger problem which is that they cause political difficulties as a holdback can only really turn around and say that the positive impact people claimed wasn’t really borne out in the long term. So even at places that do holdbacks, the results may be silenced or ignored. If a holdback shows something continuing to work, that’s hard to get excitement about even though I think one should expect many of these a/b test results to not have long lasting effects.
There is one sentence about this in the article, stated without support, possibly as a joke. The rest of the article is about replication failure in social science studies.

As the post mentions, it was Twain('s company) who ultimately ended up publishing Grant's memoirs at the end of his life. The post doesn't mention but it wasn't just a random relationship, they were good friends. (Sidenote: Ron Chernow's Grant is a great read. Grant is an underrated president.)

It's always interesting to read about historic figures intersecting.
I mean, the article says it formed as Africa and Europe came together, and that's not the only time continents collided to form larger landmasses. Certainly we've had larger supercontinents that could've accommodated larger lakes.
I'm aware of that. But it's fun, the same way as Lua in the kernel.

Which simplyfies picking parts out and moving them into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rump_kernel , or FPGAs.

> Most of this fishes are domestic.

Completely wrong, Spain relies on imports from Norway and Sweden for farmed salmon and the US for wild pacific salmon. Domestic production is negligible: https://www.tridge.com/data-insights/market-price-atlantic-s...

> Sushi bars store the products in a special ultrafreeze storage,for some time. They are obliged by law to do this.

Maybe in Spain, this is not required by the restaurant in the US, some jurisdictions require recordkeeping to prove their suppliers froze this for them (NYC) and most source from a parasite-free supplier but the restaurant itself only needs to maintain safe storage temperature. The FDA guidelines are enforced by local health jurisdictions in the US and may not be in complete alignment. More on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/08/nyregion/sushi-fresh-from...

Do you mean international charges? I thought roaming has not been a thing for
a decade.

Many ATT plans include usage in all of the western hemisphere, excluding the Caribbean islands. And for countries not included, it is $10 per day ($5 for other lines on your plan) up to 10 days in a billing cycle, and after that it is free until the next billing cycle.

Not the cheapest (I think T-Mobile has international at $5 per day), but not terrible either for a quick jaunt somewhere and not having to worry about SIMs or changing phone number or whatever.

If you manage to always offer drivers the minimum they will accept, you don't grow the pie, you just take more of it.

> Uber/Lyft/DiDi all compete for drivers by offering bids to drivers. Drivers pick the highest bid. What's the inefficiency here?

The inefficiency is when there aren't plentiful rides from multiple platforms, so the competition part goes away.

> the value from gig work and ride sharing, like nearly every single normal economic act is not fucking zero sum.

The value of the work isn't zero sum but the way the surplus is distributed is often zero sum.

Though if a worker is aiming for a specific amount of profit, and you manage to cut their pay to get more hours out of them, it's not zero sum but the effect on the worker is even worse.

Not the UK spelling — a typo.
I actually purposely stayed away from the terms progressive, liberal, and conservative sticking instead to left/right. The American take on liberal and conservative really is pretty different from how the many other countries and cultures use those terms.

The two parties do line up well enough with the basic definition of left/right, at least if you squint a bit. We don't actually have a conservative party worth writing home about at all - both Democrats and Republicans are liberal and tend to debate the details.

Case in point, both parties want government to impose laws protecting someone's rights when it comes to abortion, they simply disagree on who's rights need protecting.

Just to clarify: Rust, Cargo and Clippy have already been registered as trademarks for some time now (AFAIK originally by Mozilla, with ownership transfered to the Rust Foundation upon its creation).

There is also an existing trademark policy, with the draft concerning an update to it.

Tbh I find that lately the YouTube algorithm seems to regularly throw out something completely whacky, old, and totally out of your usual interests. Almost like an escape hatch from the usual content. People will get bored seeing the same stuff over and over again so it makes sense for the algorithm to try to find new areas of interest or you’ll move to another platform with fresh content.
I agree, but I find it pretty cool that they were able to generate and pick from what they wanted. This seems like one of the real strengths of generative AI — people can tune outputs they otherwise couldn’t create (unable to paint, draw, play guitar, etc).

People can debate if it’s actually good that people can create art without being artists, but again, I think it’s great that the author had the freedom to create what they had in mind without much outside influence. This has been a goal for computers in general for so long, and it seems like we’re actually arriving with some mediums.

StableDiffusion, which isn't an LLM but is related, says that we could. Just like crypto mining drove GPU sales (for those interested in cryptocurrencies), those interested in private output of such systems are going to look to fat clients.

What am referring to with "private output"? I'm referring to what we know is coming - easy at-home production of porn deep fakes. Some aren't going to mind using AWS to produce their weird fantasies (not kink shaming, we're all into some weird stuff, not everyone is into their cloud provider potentially having access to it). Others are going to want that produced privately at home, on their own hardware.
>We’re on the zero downside, only upside technology curve to utopia ?

Not how technology works in my experience. My mental model of technology is that it acts as a multiplier on life's peaks and valleys, so the highs get higher and the lows get lower. To my mind that means AGI will bring the ultimate of highs along with the ultimate of lows. Doesn't sound like utopia to me. Sounds like a good time, until it's not.

Evidence for censorship is never going to fit into a scientific context, especially when you're actually concerned with intent rather than statistical significance or similar data.

You asked for proof and there's plenty out there. Claiming now that the proof doesn't count because it doesn't also prove the negative is asinine. Had you asked for proof that only one side was being censored that'd be a whole different question but you simply asked for proof that the right was being censored.
And companies have been known to lose source code and prints.

> Since fast.com is a Netflix ip, and the isp can’t distinguish whether it’s video that is being transferred or a file to measure throughout,

It is really trivial to do basic traffic snooping and see what people are looking at. I'm surprised it isn't more common.

I figured it would be harder, or perform worse, but I easily wrote a little piece of software that filters the TLS ClientHello for arbitrary domains. Maybe 10 years ago hardware wouldn't have been able to do this, but I bet it's no big deal now. So your filter chain just looks like <Netflix IP range> -> <has fast.com ClientHello> -> unthrottle. You don't need to do packet inspection on every packet, just ones that you might be interested in (e.g. Netflix IPs).

It's crazy to me that the many people who care about privacy and censorship in tech haven't pushed ECH (encrypted ClientHello) harder. It's such a gaping hole in web privacy that you can still passively snoop domain names sent in cleartext. It makes DoH/DoT almost pointless.

I don't view Conway's law as casting as negative a tinge as most seem to. It makes sense that responsibilities be split roughly along the same lines as they are in physical organizations, especially in orgs where software is not a hermetic black box but represents business processes. Groups probably have need to twiddle with the representations, and drawing the same lines of responsibility as permissions makes a lot of sense there.

As a contrived and probably nonsensical example: if you have a widget factory, and you have two departments, sales and fulfillment, it's often better to represent a sales order as "An immutable list of items sold and prices, and a mutable list of references to fulfillments that satisfied that order" over "a list of items sold, prices, and how many have been delivered", with a separate object that is the fulfillment.

Those are different departments, they move at different rates, and edit permissions for each should be limited to their respective orgs.
