It's the new ie in the sense that it provides an embeddable WebView for apps that need to securely display web content like oauth logins, so it's not realistic to remove all the files. :/
Related gripe: Your API doesn't always need OAuth. If I'm using your product as your customer and I directly want to leverage my own product data via your API then I shouldn't be forced to have to implement [your almost invariably non-standard and difficult] OAuth implementation. An API key should be an option or HMAC if the extra security is felt to be warranted, but not the absurdity of needing to go through a client flow to check the boxes to say yes I consent to share my own data with my own self for this API use that will never be seen or used by a 3rd-party.
The GM Voltec drivetrain was technically excellent, but they put it in the wrong vehicle. Small sedans (or pseudo hatchbacks) like the Volt are a dying market niche. The interior was cramped, especially the back seat. If GM had put the same drivetrain into a compact crossover SUV with a little more interior comfort and cargo space then it would have been more successful. Look how popular the Toyota RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid SUV is.

I wonder whether some of the media streaming companies are going to try to use the sports streaming playbook, where you get penalized for canceling and then resubcribing within <12 months.

Those penalties could be "we just won't let you sign up" or "oh you don't get the promotional rate then, your rate for Netflix will be $44.95/mo for the next 11 months".

If we're going with Locke, you better be using all your land productively if you want to retain ownership.

[EDIT] For those who've not read him (the Second Treatise is, if not great philosophy, at least a clear, engaging, relatively-quick read, and is the work of his that comes up the most) Locke notices, as many have, that land ownership is kind of screwy under many otherwise-liberal frameworks of political and economic thinking, and justifies it by proposing that adding labor to land is what renders it fit for private ownership, by improving it (in terms of productivity or utility-to-people) beyond its "natural" state. Like most of the rest of the work, this comes off rather as Locke deciding which things he likes first, then going back and constructing the reasoning to justify them under his "natural law" framework, while studiously ignoring any branches of that reasoning that may head any direction he doesn't like—but, regardless, that's his take: input increasing productivity/utility is what justifies private land ownership.

In case one is using this info to make purchasing decisions, 3nm is a big improvement from today's leading edge 5nm process in speed, density, and power consumption [1]. We've been on 5nm variants for about 4 years now, and though each year brought gains, they were more incremental.

In Mac terms, this means M2->M3 will be bigger step up than M1->M2. Apple also delayed their next-gen raytracing GPU from last year, so it's likely that will come in as well. However with the difficulties of manufacturing, and Apple prioritizing iPhones, it's not clear whether we'll get any M3 Macs this year.

That's why I said it has potential in health care, where it could be prescribed by a therapist who knows well about this topic and involved risks.

I.e. I did not mean self-medicated health care.

While there had been limitations for research on this topics because of questionable laws they now are often somewhat relaxed.

So by now there are some experimental treatment studies which use psychedelics to treat depression patients which the normal health care system failed to treat.

One important factor is that therapy is always the foundation/basis of such treatments while the well controlled psychedelic trip is often the _last_ step in the treatment.

I forgot about the details but I think it was something along the line of being depressed long term conditioning you brain to be depressed (even if the original source is gone) and psychedelics helping you overcoming this after you already started working on de-conditioning yourself.

> Automatic subtitles and translation is actually a huge feature which is very useful to the many people that don't speak English. It definitely did provide Google with a lot of value.

It lost Google immense value.

Before Google Brain the only speech recognizers that halfway worked were at Google, IBM and Amazon. And Amazon had to buy a company to get access.

After Google Brain, anyone can run a speech recognizer. One that is state of the art. There are many models out there that just work well enough.

Google went from having an ok speech recognizer that sort of worked in a few languages and gave YouTube an advantage that no company aside from IBM and Amazon could touch. Neither of which compete with Google much. No startup could have anything like Google's captioning. It was untouchable. Like, speech recognition researchers actively avoided this competition, that's how inferior everyone was.

To now, post Google Brain, any startup can have captions that are as good as YouTube's captions. You can run countless models on your laptop today.

This is a huge competitive loss for Google.

They got a minor feature for YouTube and lost one of the key ML advantages they had.

I recently started working on a project that added TS after the project was very mature. The biggest problem is the project was never intended to have types so they feel very shoehorned in and, imo, cause far more problems than they are solving. I think in this specific case the project simply should not have been updated with types.

I have worked with JS a lot and have only used TS in this one instance. I would be interested in working on a project that included TS from the beginning to see a better representation of TS.

Also, fwiw, we have solved many of the same problems with linting and automated tests. But this requires education and maintenance; it would be interesting to compare this effort with a TS project.

I have found ChatGPT a great tool for that sort of task (I study French).

A typical book meant for students trying to improve their reading skills usually starts from a certain level which is fairly high for me currently.

By using an LLM you can tailor-make a story i.e. define your level (“Give me a short story in French, for someone with very limited vocabulary” or “for a seven-year old”) and then adjust accordingly if it’s too easy/hard, ask to use only grammar you have studied (“only using present tense”), pick a familiar topic (“about a someone who studies Physics in college”) etc.
Love this post by Nango, it's exactly right!

Agreed that the biggest reason is that OAuth is a framework and not a protocol. That means different companies can do it ever so slightly differently, and as a dev, you need to understand the differences and normalize it for your use case.

At Stytch we've run into the same issues, normalization problems, security implications, flaky IdPs; a hard problem, but one you _have_ to get right!
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out over the next year or two.

A lot depends on how well TSMC, Samsung, and Intel execute. Intel's roadmap has had Intel 4 happening in 2023, but it's possible that Meteor Lake will be pushed back a bit and it's looking like Intel won't be making high-end Meteor Lake processors. Intel also has RibbonFET and 20A on its roadmap for 2024/2025. If TSMC can't meet Apple's 3nm demand in 2023, it seems likely that only Apple will have 3nm processors in late 2023. Given that it was 2 years between Apple shipping 5nm and AMD shipping 5nm, it's not out of the question that AMD wouldn't get 3nm until late 2025 - and TSMC wasn't having trouble meeting Apple's 5nm demand in 2020. That leaves a ton of time for Intel to close the gap.

If TSMC is having so much yield trouble with 3nm, it seems reasonable to think that TSMC might not be able to keep up its advantage. Of course, one could also argue that Intel's roadmap might simply be bluster. That's why I think it will be interesting to see how this will play out. TSMC has done very well over the past decade while Intel has faltered. If Intel is able to get RibbonFET and 20A out in the next couple years, Intel might regain a nice lead.

If Intel can get its 20A out in 2024, it seems like that would put them solidly in the lead again and put a damper on both AMD (generally) and data-centers moving to ARM. AMD has seen a huge rise in part due to Intel's fab issues offering them a huge lead. ARM processors have also seen an opening via Intel's fab weakness. If Intel gets back to having superior fabrication, we might get to a market where Intel takes back the gains that ARM and AMD have seen in some areas.

But a lot of this depends on how well companies execute over the next couple years. Roadmaps are one thing. Processors in people's hands are another.
Seems unlikely.

>you are conflating discrimination with racism

The definition of racism is "discrimination based on race".
Despite recent attempts to redefine racism as something that only white people are capable of, this is how most normal people understand the term.

By using the term any other way you are obviously intentionally ignoring the fact that the term meant "discrimination based on race" for decades.

"positive discrimination" is still just discrimination based on race, i.e. racism.
Defining discrimination as "positive" is just a convenient way to tell yourself you are not being a bigot.

To put it another way: if you did not hire a candidate because they are white or asian, say, because you hate white/asian people, the action to not hire them is exactly the same as the "equity" case where you chose not to hire them because of their race but because you are doing so in the name of "equity".

In the end you are just arguing for equality of outcomes instead of equality of opportunity. We have already seen where society ends up if we allow open discrimination (whether or not you define it as "positive" or "negative"), it's not very good. Equality of opportunity does not freeze the status quo, look at the asian population for an example: asians 150 years ago were stuck building railroads, now they are richer by far than any other ethnic group. They got that way by working hard and making use of our myriad _equal-opportunity_ employment laws.
Agreed, the critical article does raise some good points that these more decentralized/fedarated/self-hosted/self-custody protocols need to incorporate in their designs at some point of they really want to scale to challenge the current status quo of social media.

His thinking at least parallels Marie Montessori's. There probably is some direct influence, but I couldn't find evidence of it in a quick search.

However it does not surprise me that the approaches would work out to be similar.

In the US at least I'd be more inclined to suspect brain drain than something generational. Almost everyone who could teach is doing something that pays better instead.

If you want to time gate your episodes with your friends you're still welcome to coordinate that with them. Lots of couples do this too ("Don't watch until we can do it together") but personally, no matter how excited I am for a show, if a streaming platform withholds episodes so that they can better manage social media and stretch out advertising I'll just wait until the whole thing is out before I even start watching.

I'm totally done letting media companies dictate my time and letting them make me feel like I'm missing out somehow if I don't jump when they tell me to. I'll watch things on my schedule, when it's convenient for me, and I'll do it at my own pace. If a platform doesn't want to let me do that, I've got plenty of other things competing for my attention that will.
We accept differential outcomes in sports and how genetics plays a strong role there, but we seem utterly resistant to accept it in intellectual pursuits for some dang reason.

I've taught many people to juggle from literally zero juggling experience. Hand eye coordination is not equally distributed among the population, and some people are naturally significantly more talented (and make more progress much more quickly than others. 10X differences are not a joke). I'm not sure why we keep believing intellectual things are any different.

Having gone to school with some exceptionally smart/not-smart people at both questionable public schools and then one of the best universities, the discrepancies there are definitely not just due to parental investment (though I'm not denying that it can play a role)
Using such language is a guarantee that such an effort will not succeed.

Of course it's important and it's inevitable but calling it an "emergency" would by hyperbole and cause it to be taken less seriously.
Having looked you up and getting a profile, I would agree that culture is a factor but I still put it in the bucket of “unconfirmed significance”. Funny how stereotypes recall memories, but I am parts repulsed and parts impressed by the pigeonhole you fill. Anyways, it’s perhaps less about you than the milieu you represent.

I imagine you can apply culture similarly to why white Americans would choose their own to advance up career ladders.
It's very optimistic. Even under new leadership the creative talent that Blizzard has lost over the last 10 years is not coming back. Microsoft themselves aren't particularly good at picking talent either - see the Halo Infinite/343 Studios debacle. Maybe there would be less of a push for player-hostile monetization, but I wouldn't count on it. The people who made and executed those decisions at Activision/Blizzard aren't magically going away either.

My comment is referencing what was documented to happen during 2013: the NSA compelled tech companies to turn over user data under threat of jailing the executives and fining the company huge amounts.

They don't need to ask Google for data from other companies. They can compel them to provide the passwords or authentication codes which are stored on Google's servers. Or they could just ask for a list of which accounts have a saved password, so they know who to target next with an NSL.
This is already a thing. I pay for the 4-viewer plan for my family of 3, because when we were on the 2-viewer plan we would frequently get denied access to streaming because the other 2 were already watching something.
And all browsers leak to Google if you have search suggestion in address bar enabled ...
The individualism is part of the culture, and you're right it definitely influences outcomes
Of course. Around 10 euros that divided by 4 means 2.5 euros a month per user (or 2 divided by 5, it's unlikely that 4 people are watching at the same time) is a fair price, the cost of 2 coffee, you say screw it I pay so I can just take my remote and watch whatever I want. Reason why they made success.

For more than that, for example you have to pay a full subscription of 10 euros, you consider going back to pirating. By the way I'm in favour that Netflix enforces this policy: so people will start pirating again, and we will see coming back forums that share torrents like it was back in the day.

I think that when we realize that this day with gigabit fibre connections that are the norm and that contrary on when Netflix came out that you needed to leave the computer running all night to download a movie we can download a 4K torrent in a matter of minutes all these streaming companies will fail for good.
