GPT-4 has helped a rank noob like me build an app that's far beyond my capabilities.

To me, it already feels far beyond a cool tech demo.
Learning from machine learning: green tests are not good news
An unplesant surpsise I got from Netflix is when I went to a vacation to Thailand and got welcomed with "you can't watch it here" screen.

Customer support told me I can only watch Netflix in the country I purchased it from.

This was not my first trip so must be a new development.
> "When I started progressing with Stackgl, I took a year off and worked on it full-time throughout 2017. I lived off some savings and unemployment checks until late 2018"

Impressive dedication, congratulations!

I did something similar when I was 23. (Now two decades ago - wow...) That project wasn't a runaway success on its own, but it was a fundamental learning experience. Those years spent building a software project of my own, yet one meant for other people to use and extend, completely changed how I think about my career and life and its external dependencies.
Thank you,
I am building a newer and better version today. Check it out again later!!!
Imagine a really large lifting body, made of interlocked containers, building a honeycomb-like superstructure. Put some ablation layers around it. Maybe some small remote controlled rockets for steering. Let it glide down into the ocean near the coasts. Pull it into the the harbour via tug-boat. Remove remaining ablation layers. Disassemble honeycombed superstructure. Open containers. Get packets out. Melt containers into something else, or put them back up via space elevator, or whatever.
OK maybe I need to try it again. I bought it on release ages ago and as I recall, it’s one of these many games where you go around picking up collectibles so you can have the pleasure of dealing with upgrade menus. I felt the same way about Witcher and so many other games.

Just give me password auth back.

I work in a lab that requires fingerprint login (TrustKey FIDO keys) with no fallback.

Every 6-8 weeks I need to have my keys reset with new prints, which is a process that involves meeting a member of the security team in a room for 20 minutes so my key and the backup key (kept in a safe by the firm) can both be reset.

Everyday, without fail, I sit there like a chimp taking on average 2 minutes to unlock my workstation. This happens maybe 5 times per day.
ChatGPT now allows disabling chat history, declining training,and exporting data
It's funny. Right now I have access to around 5 streaming services while I only pay for 2. My girlfriend's friend has access to Netflix, my sis HBO. I provide access to Disney+ and Prime to my family. I used to get YT premium from my sis's boyfriend, but they detected I'm not in the family household and they kicked me out. If it wasn't because other people use my accounts (and I use theirs), I wouldn't be paying for disney+ or A. Prime.

Maybe other people are in the same situation as me. There's a tenuous balance in the streaming service subscriptions thanks to the fact that people can share their accounts. If they close the door to account sharing, maybe the subscriptions will start falling like domino pieces.
Maven? I've worked on quite a few large backend projects using multi-module in Maven, after it's setup it works: parent POM, submodules, dependency management on parent POM.

It depends on what features specifically you are looking for though.

> If we have some futex object in Javascript, and give it a futex.waitQueue property, it's basically the same: the futex thing is hashed somehow to access that property.

I’m not sure that’s correct, it’s “waitQueue” that is hashed. In a super naive simple implementation the attributes are just a hash map.
- AssemblyAI was the winner for the tests we did some months ago, very reliable and accurate.

- Deepgram also looks interesting, recently they released a new model (Nova), they also offer Whisper for a cheaper price ($0.0048/min), I've briefly played a little bit with it but the DX looked a bit bad. They're also offering $200 in credits now.

- If you're on a really tight budget. Most browsers [1] support the SpeechRecognition API [2] where you can transcribe for free. Depends on the browser it works better, for example in Google Chrome it works excellent as the browser actually sends the audio to the cloud (probably uses GCP's Google Cloud Speech to Text)

Isn't the root of this problem bigger than Amazon? If we had a fixed money supply and the federal government wasn't printing money all the time, Amazon (and other mega corporations) wouldn't have such a compelling target for regulatory capture, which bestows on them the Cantillion effect of access to lots of newly-created money... while downstream of them everybody else ends up holding the bag through higher prices and cheaper quality.

The real source of the enshitification Doctorow writes about is the fiat US dollar, not necessarily Amazon. Amazon is just one of the more successful at sucking up that monetary creation. Remove the money creation and the opportunities for regulatory capture, and competition becomes a much more viable option to prevent the abuses Doctorow describes.

> So instead of AI vs humans we will have left wing and right wing cyborg superintelligences

Except, not, because despite Elon’s PR, what he is reacting too is in no way “left-wing” (or “woke”), in fact, it is very widely criticized, with evidence, for reinforcing the exact biases that “woke” was originally used in reference to awareness of and opposition to.

So, maybe “right-wing” and “righter-wing”.

It is not a new thing, but no test is exhaustive and they must prioritize hardware tested for practical reasons. This particular test would need to check if the working NIC could reach full gigabit speeds in TX, as everything else checked out.

Regardless, it cannot be said that they do not have regression testing or are irresponsible in that sense, as they provide important services to the community in exactly this area.
Broadly, it's an interesting question, and my feeling is it won't kill blogging, but it will divide it.

I agree with the author that there will be the sincere blogs that are just people working out what they think and what they like and who they are by writing and publishing.

But there will also be the blogs with a heavy dose of AI that are less about personal growth and more about clicks, monetisation and personal branding and positioning. How long they'll last before someone figures out a better way of doing the same thing, who knows.

The trick is telling one from t'other.

Interesting times.
I guess the business opportunity is to offer a cheap extension to share the account with 3 more concurrent devices for an increase of only 50%. Dang°!
Sorry, I didn't mean when did Linux and Solaris first see light of day.

Because they want your data, it is a dark pattern.

Also when you disable chat history / data collection they display a big box on the left side about "do you really want to do this" and a big green button to enable it again. There is no button to disable it in the same way, you have to dig into the settings.

Basically they were forced by the EU and using dark patterns to make you not disable it as the data you provide is very valuable for them.

Edit: You also have to enable this setting on every device you work on, it is not stored on the "account"..
That is the reason why we also provide a cloud service with zitadel.

But it is important to us to let customers choose what they like more.

Sometime the gained control (and responsibility) when self-hosting might be crucial for the specific use-case.
Very nice idea/design. I have to ask :) Are you using a custom layout algo for drawing the nodes labels in the directed graph?
Great article! I absolutely love Notion and use it to track my tasks and create a second brain for myself. Notion is a beast for personal productivity. However, I think a lot more businesses have started using Notion to manage their products. When I talked to some of these businesses, I came across some common issues with Notion databases which pushed me to build NotionApps (https://www.notionapps.com), a tool to create apps on top of Notion databases. These are the problems I'm looking to solve:
- Better user experience when using Notion databases on mobile
- Notion is slow to use with large databases
- Missing granular permissions when sharing data with others
- Ability to share internal data with external users
I just apple notes with the option to add code snippets.
Yes, but the bigger picture is much more interesting IMO, as Spain has become a highly-competitive market for VoD, is overly saturated with suppliers and we're in a recession year with rising cost of living.

Put into context of the same source's (Kantar) report from end of last year on Spain's VoD consumption, it would be much more interesting to know

1.) how many paying subs each of the providers lost explicitly, and

2.) whether the ~1,3M spanish households which access 6 or more (!!) VoD-services have reduced their "portfolio"

Kantar[1]:

- By September 2022, the number of households that used at least one video streaming service in Spain reached 66%, 12.4million households.

- VoD-enabled households accessed on average 3.3 different video streaming services, with 11% of households accessing 6 or more different VoD services.

- 2.7% of Spanish households took out a new Subscription Video on Demand (SVoD) service in the last three months.

- 23% of those planning on cancelling at least one SVoD service in the next quarter are doing so to save money, the #1 reason.

The Streisand effect tends to happen when a secret is made public and then there's an effort to bury that secret. So I would say there's absolutely been a Streisand effect here, but just in the other direction. You can find countless videos like this [1], where a parent simply reads from books made available by a school, at a school board meeting. School boards largely responded by simply trying to bury these things - enter, Streisand.

It's not a secret that books like these exist, you can find a million of them with a single search. But the fact that they were on school shelves is certainly something that came as a huge surprise to the overwhelming majority of parents.

> I originally thought you meant

Not me. ajcoll5 made the statement, you expressed confusion with it, I tried to explain what (I assume) ajcoll5 meant.

> Anyway... so macOS fonts themselves were made of resource forks and therefore trying to transfer fonts themselves across a non-resource-fork-supporting network share will fail? As in, the resource forks were needed in order to use the font file?

On Classic MacOS, some files, all the actual contents is in the resource fork, and the data fork is ignored and can be empty. So you copy such a file to a filesystem which doesn't support resource forks, you can end up with an empty file.

A good example of this is executables. 68k Mac executables, all the code is stored in the resource fork (as code resources), and the data fork is ignored and can be empty. So you copy a 68k Mac executable to a forkless filesystem, you can end up with an empty file.

By contrast, PPC Classic MacOS executables, the code is in the data fork, and the resource fork only contained actual resources such as icons or strings, not the code. If you lost the resource fork, you'd still have the code of the executable. But it probably won't run without the icons/strings/etc it expected.

This was how Apple's original (1994) implementation of "fat binaries" worked. The data fork contained the PowerPC binary and the resource fork contained the 68K binary. PPC Macs would load and run the PPC code from the data fork, 68K Macs would ignore the data fork and load and run the code from the resource fork. If you only needed PPC support, you could shrink the executable by deleting all the 68K code resources from its resource fork.

The core resources of Classic MacOS were originally stored in a single file, the "System suitcase". Originally, each installed font was a separate resource in the resource fork of that file; its data fork was unused, except to store an easter egg text message. Fonts were distributed as resources in separate suitcase files, and the "Font/DA Mover" copied them from the distribution suitcases into the system suitcase. So yes, a suitcase file used to distribute a classic MacOS font, the actual font data would be in the resource fork, and the data fork could be empty. In System 7.1, Apple introduced a separate folder called "Fonts". In some MacOS versions (not sure when it was introduced, but definitely was there by System 7.0), Finder displays suitcases as if they were folders, even though they are actually resource forks.

Contemporary macOS doesn't really use any of this stuff. It supports resource forks for backward compatibility, but modern applications don't use them. The "Font Book" app can import Classic MacOS fonts (not bitmap ones, but TrueType and Type 1) from the resource fork of a suitcase file. But once imported, the fonts are stored in ordinary files (with a data fork only) on the filesytstem.
It depends on the business.

I'm helping my girlfriend build her Chinese teaching business, pure service-based (I like to call it a Service as a Service business :P). A paid website template, Canva subscription, and a virtual assistant gets you ridiculously, ridiculously far. Even PHP would be overkill at this point.

My day job is working for a company that sells video call infrastructure. We needed a bit more than PHP for that :)
They still expect more paying customers from this step.

> Last week Netflix missed expectations for new subscribers in the first quarter, but the company said that the password-policing plan and a cheaper streaming version with ads will accelerate growth in the second half of 2023.

They’ve ran test in a couple of countries. Maybe an initial drop in subscribers followed by an increase is in line with their expectations.

> appropriation by Microsoft et al., since they are ignoring license terms?

They'll stop ignoring it once microsoft's source code gets ingested. I am actually looking forward to it.
This stood out to me too, and makes me scratch my head a bit, because it is not in line with the otherwise pragmatic advice.

For projects that have a design made by a designer (with something like Figma/Sketch/XD) it is definitely _not_ better for responsive design. Almost all designs assume that the border is part of an element. It's the more intuitive option, plus the tooling around designs will show you the spacing _between_ borders.

Intuitive: In the real world, when I need measurements from you and you omit the conceptual borders of a thing, I'm not going to be very happy.

Then you also have the issue that many of the common idioms get hairy and intuitive. Say you put an element with a border inside a container. With content-box, your 100% values are now not respecting the border, meaning you'd have to subtract the border width in order to fit the element.

Lastly there is the philosophical argument about layout vs content. HTML/CSS does not in fact provide a meaningful and clear distinction of layout and content/structure. They do somewhat in theory, but that falls apart so quickly that you're better off just ignoring the theory and live with the practice. And on a human level, there is no clear distinction either. The letters, colors, images and shapes we put on the screen are all part of the same visual experience we try to communicate.
Twitter is now X Corp
This is where I am. Once they cut off password sharing here I'll be cancelling my subscription. They produce very little content I watch these days and license even less as other streaming services have started ring fencing it. It's not a huge expense, so it's fine as long as my parents are getting use out of it, but once that's gone it's going to make no sense for me to keep paying.

They technically have some useful IP. POWER in particular is like a more fleshed out RISC-V, and they could totally rework the memory/interconnet heavy mainframes to take advantage of the AI boom.

They just... don't.
What's wrong with hiring for interviewers to be this nihlistic.
The thought I had was get users off the App Store. Once they are off, then developers could raise prices. But also developers would have more freedom to sell stuff as they like, without Apple's rules. Epic has its own audience, its own customers and it should be allowed to do what it wants with its software. Instead Apple has control over what Epic can do, merely because Apple sold the hardware to the customer. When I started using personal computers, the manufacturer of the computer had no say in what software I was allowed to use. Nor did it deliberately set hoops that software authors had to jump through. Microsoft did that of course, but not the manufacturer.
I’m always puzzled how they manage to publish posts like this leaving out the denominator completely
How do they detect account borrowing? only through simultaneous use? When I pay for the service I expect some low number of simultaneous clients (say 2-4) to be able to stream. Obviously sharing my password means sharing that quota and if the number of concurrent streams is 1 then the password isn't shareable at all.

What I don't like though is when there can only be a fixed number of authenticated devices, whether they are ever used or not. Once you have logged in to N devices (5, for one service I subscribe to) you can't log in to a sixth. Even if the first 3 are phones that are on the bottom of the ocean. At that point you need to call customer support to clear your authenticated devices. Hassle.

What kind of crackdown did they pull here? in legal terms only? Or in number of concurrent streams? or in number of authenticated devices?
This mission used SpaceX though
Very much so. I find myself wanting to pay for software. Once if it's just one major version, sub if there are indeed online up and running costs. But it has become so difficult to find honest solutions I just return to foss projects and donate some money.

Sometimes this isn't ideal, and then I go through the process again. It's baffling. There are some good companies out there ofc, and I do hope they continue doing the right thing.
Agree, but sometimes looking for recent books with the same underlying message is better than going through the classic.

I read the mythical man month recently and the examples often involving OS/360 development are brutally outdated. I couldn't relate and I had to force myself to finish.
> The naming conventions for routes is a little bonkers. Now when I’m working on my app I have like 10 tabs open that all have the name +page.server.ts. Does anyone know how I can make this better in vim?

Low-level stuff; consolidating with some kind of project root directory concept and patterns would be convenient for such cases.
Yeah I felt this too. IME non-engineers love Notion, but engineers hate it because it's a pretty bad version of the system they're probably already using to organize themselves. Maybe this is too dismissive but I can't help but feel like it's just the latest "find a UNIX service/app (Vim/Emacs), make a worse SaaS version, $$$".

Note how I said nothing about limiting lending to borrowers with no credit risk (that's impossible to start with)

Indeed I specifically mentioned:

>You're confusing accepting the risks and cost of some defaults with desiring the defaults.

Defaults are always a bad thing, and those fees don't make up for it because there are costs involved with collecting from defaulting borrowers, if you can even collect in the first place.

A company whose business model involves hoping their customers default will very quickly go out of business.
Long been there. 'Hello this is Netflix, you've been greenlit, how may I help you?' was a South Park meme years ago.

Hopefully AIs will do that because it is not difficult to imagine that bad actors will try to follow the same logic as commercial/political/etc. poisoners by introducing vulnerabilities to code with a hope that an LLM will pick those up in the next round of learning.
I guess their calculus is how much does it cost to support 10-20 streaming users. Is it worth getting $18/mo for? I don't know the answer, but that seems to be their approach.
Probably geo IP and calculating feasible travel times. E.g. if 2 clients connect that are 50 miles away within 5 minutes creds are obviously being shared.
I think most people got "signal from airwaves" in 1996.

Most people still do, although don't necessarily use it very much.
It's absolutely still relevant, but it might not be as dominant as it was when first released. By that I mean that the landscape of software development has changed significantly with much more community-driven ecosystems (no longer ~just CPAN) and much more programming is figuring out how to think about choosing the right off-the-shelf architectural components.

So, it's relevant and still excellent in guiding you how to write and manage code, but make sure you don't let it lead you to a conclusion that you should write your own code for all aspects of your system.
