Your loss I guess? I absolutely love the fact that my 2018 Tesla has all the features of a 2023 Tesla.

Literally hundreds of things made better about the car over the last 5 years, truly useful features that didn’t even exist when I bought it like Dashcam and Spotify, and even safety features, improved performance, and just countless little convenience features added over the years.

Updates for better maps, navigation, routing, faster charging, better AutoPilot, Summon, better hard braking performance, improved pedal feel for regen, better driver profile settings and memory, better SMS integration with iPhone, vastly expanded entertainment options, better iPhone app controls, and truly could go on and on. [1]

So here I have a 5 year old car with 50k miles with absolutely zero reason to consider trading it in for a new model, because it basically IS the new model.

IMO it’s a major advantage of owning a Tesla is getting to enjoy truly meaningful and useful software upgrades that consistently make the car better in basically every possibly way.

It’s just a different level of commitment to their customers than I think any other automaker delivers, versus the legacy “if you want new features you’ll have to buy a whole new car to get them” approach.

According to Intel* RAM is about 2x L3 cache. Which is about 10x L2, which is about 4x L1. So:

RAM := 1
L3 := 2
L2 := 20
L1 := 80

One of the most infuriating things about any voice assistant, IMO, is the absolute clunkiness with which you have to try and control music.

I use Android Auto in my car for safety. God forbid I'm listening to a song and want to queue up another one right after. I don't think I've ever gotten that behavior to work without either skipping the current song or adding the second song to the end of the queue. And even that's assuming that it even recognized the proper song out of my library and didn't try to go to Youtube or something.

Meanwhile, if my buddy is riding shotgun, I can just say "Hey, put on Peace of Mind next"
I love coding, too, and have routinely spent 100h+ per week writing code.

The thing I'll caution is that the market rewards outcomes, not effort. On a daily basis I write less code now than I did when I was younger, but when I do write code it's with more urgency and intensity -- it's usually when I deeply understand the reward function for solving a specific business or customer problem.
We stopped taking cabs years ago when the cab we ordered for very early in the morning didn't show up, ending in a scramble to get to the airport and parked.

What most people like about Lyft or Uber: known price, known route, and backup drivers automatically located if there's an issue with the first driver.

That peace of mind seems worth paying for.
its your life, but if you really want to code 100hrs a week, start your own company! that kind of drive should at least be directed to your own benefit
The governor of Illinois tried to sell Obama’s senate seat for bargain bin prices.
In addition, there are prophylactics that will protect against other oral sex transmitted pathogens as well. This is really an STD "epidemic" which includes other diseases as well. I wonder if removing risk of some diseases increases recklessness related to the others.

Edit: why disagree about additional protection and legitimate question?
> if Russia were to stage a coup, install their guy, and deploy weapons.

So... is your understanding that Russia's been "forced" to invade because the US was arming Ukraine to eventually invade Russia?

I guess this is not an original argument to get into, but do we want to agree on some basic facts before we start:

1. Putin is corrupt. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_tFSWZXKN0 . Sure the people making the video are people who want to see him be taken down and a Pro-Putin take could be that these guys are liars funded by "foreign states" to make propaganda to make Putin look bad, but there's tons of other evidence of his corruption.

2. The person ousted in the "coup" (Viktor Yanukovych) was also deeply corrupt. E.g. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/24/rebels-toured-...

If we can agree that these 2 things are true, then I think there's an argument I can make that the Ukranian people's wish to be closer to the west is genuine and is not a Western-manufactured thing. Because the alternative is for a corrupt Ukranian leader that would've moved to be even more in bed with a corrupt Russian leader and for the citizenry to be robbed of their prosperity and welfare.

The argument that Putin did it to stop NATO's growing sphere of influence is a curious reversal of roles of the bad and good guys. Of course it's hard to argue the US/EU are the super clean good guys, hey there's corruption in these 2 institutions as well... but the way I see it, to say that Putin is the better guy against US/EU/NATO requires a lot of self-deception. Or am I the one being deluded?
Hmm… How are the other aspects of your life? Do you like your job? Are you burnt out or depressed?
I had a Norland nanny look after my three-year old son for a few months after my wife died.

It was an interesting experience, and very different from anything else since.

The contract that the Norland Agency (you can only get these nannies through the college's own agency) issue to the clients, and also the ethical conduct they sign regulate in detail, how Norlanders interact with their clients (and it's very much one sided in favour of the client).

In terms of the day to day, they develop, with the parents, a strict schedule for meals, education and social events that they stick to religiously. When I woke up in the mornings, fifteen minutes before my nanny was supposed to start (she did not live with us) to have my coffee, she was invariably always parked outside in her car waiting for the clock to strike 7:00am, before walking in exactly on time each morning. Snack-time, dinner, and bed time similarly occurred pretty much on the minute every day too.

My son had a meal schedule that was planned and approved by me a week in advance. Every day she planned a fun/educational activity. She tailored a teaching programme for my son, based on his performance from an evaluation she did, that she also followed each day.

Before going home every day, she wrote a journal of everything that had happened during the day, and what the goals and the targets were for the next day.

I've tried to retain and adapt what she put in place, and I strongly believe it is the framework and the structure to their approach that make them so special. My son also thrived under her care.

I couldn't recommend them more.
I'm just impressed that they manage to run at a pace of 6 miles per hour (that is 10km/h) while coding...

I don't think I can type or use a mouse while I run, that is not walk – and 10km/h is definitely not a walk. And the sweat!!!
I like the way the author put it. It felt like it was directly addressed to me, and to the people in this thread. The last illustration was a lovely touch.
Can you quote some?
I can agree that there should be as much insulation from the political process as possible but I believe lifetime appointments actually increase the politicization of the institution. There have been interesting proposals around, e.g. 18 year terms staggered in such a way that there is a new vacancy every two years or so. This has the advantage of limiting the damage a corrupt justice can do even in the event that a a corrupt appointment is made. The current system with lifetime appointments made _through_ an extremely political process with no accountability for sitting justices is awful and already looks like it may be the downfall of the institution. I am as disgusted by our politics is anyone but I am genuinely curious how we could possibly have reform and accountability for the institution without political action.
Nobody wants to convince the majority of anything. Most cities would be happy to raise the share of bikes by a few percentage points.
> I run 6 miles many days of the week to keep healthy. I do it while writing code, using a standing desk treadmill

you run... while coding?
Thanks for sharing.

Do you see willpower (self-discipline? are these equivalent to you?) as a finite resource similar to muscular exertion? It seems easy enough to make statements such as, "Don't replace smoking with eating junk food." but, if you do view willpower as finite, your remark doesn't do much to address how willpower is trained and grown. It just implies that a person should find a way to have sufficient willpower.

I think I see willpower similar to putting on muscle mass. You need to track where you're at, consistently overload yourself but only slightly, and incorporate rest days to fully recuperate.
Or even in the same building, just with a different power/network domain.
There was a case where it was ruled totally fine to feed inmates rotten food AS LONG AS if they asked they were then given human grade food. Here's the thing, asking comes with huge consequences (such as being put in a cell with notoriously aggressive Bob, then having your cell 'shaken down' for contraband every day and letting Bob know the cell is being targeted because you cause trouble). You should be able to go after a person knowingly serving food not fit for human consumption, but you can't, because precedent of this case now says it's OK (as long as you server human grade food on request which how can I prove they don't) so qualified immunity is to all Food Service Administrators from this precedent.
Maybe this can work. I certainly wouldn't do this myself, but unlike what many others think I don't think this must necessarily result in burnout.

I have experienced burnout and I have experienced working a lot more than when I burned out without any problems.

I'm am fairly convinced that in the majority of the cases it isn't the work load that burns someone out, it is when one put in lots of efforts and realizes it it doesn't matter at all.

Or more succinctly, as mentioned in a story that was posted a few days ago:

> [...] when we become locked in a cycle of caring about the results of our actions but having no meaningful control over those outcomes. [1]

Whatsapp leaving means everyone will just switch to Signal or the dozens of different messengers out there? I don't see the big deal?
Seems strange, unsustainable, exaggerated and unhealthy.

Treadmill 6miles while coding? I run a 20 min 5k (3.01 mi) which is a fast pace for most. 40 mins would be excellent for 6 miles, but alas I can't keep the pace and would probably land around 50 mins. Arguable how much coding is getting done in that 1h and makes me feel like this time slot is just for show. That's without stretching for warmup or cooldown.

30m for caring for 9 cats while only spending 30m for showering and eating in the morning? That's a strange set of priorities, but then again so is the whole post. No comment on nine felines.

30m for food, not accounting for prep+cleaning afterwards? What are they eating? Doubtful it's something actually nutritious and if so, it was prepped by someone else and cleaned by someone else.
The point was that just because the iPhone didn’t have GPS, it doesn’t mean that phones didn’t have GPS before then.

And government tracking by cell phones was also around in 2005

Btw, OP clarified in a comment that by "for how how long" they meant distance and not time. They're hoping it's a temporary solution.

Type-Safe Data Processing Pipelines
- Software development remains a "craft" that limits the number of people who can participate. Division of labor is mostly absent from the process.

- Technology (with AI) is such that a division of labor is now achievable in software development that can lower cost, reduce schedules, increase efficiency, increase quality and potentially improve
morale

- All educated people are capable of contributing to the development of a product or solution

- Contributing to the development of something is tangible, rewarding and self-affirming

I lived in the relatively safe stable part of a war zone as a foreign civilian for a few years, and had friends who were frequently in the less safe/less stable parts.

So much of our modern world is designed for modern infrastructure, and when that infra falls down, you either have to do without or accept a level of danger that is probably higher than the modern world takes, but lower than what our ancestors 100 years ago took.
I think many people, especially SV devs whose job is finding solutions to problems, forget that there are no solutions to some problems. That only solution to these problems is to not pursue what causes the problem altogether.

It’s indeed a challenge

For many applications such as talking to pdfs you can use a vectors db like pinecone

But that doesn’t work well for schematics because for of the interesting use cases you need access to the whole thing.

Here is what’s been working for us

1. Extreme compression and summarization of the data we dynamically put in the context
2. Leverage the extreme amount of world knowledge the cutting edge models have
I believe there are cases of people being born with a set of sex chromosomes that are different from XY and XX. This is what your parent commenter is referring to and I fail to see how it's a valid point ("anti-science"), on the particular topic of determining biological sex in people.

If one wants to make a simple statement that encompasses the largest group of people they might say, "There are 2 sexes." If they want to make a more complex statement that encompasses all humans they might add a qualifier such that they instead say, "There are 2 typical sexes." That "typical" adds a whole lot of complexity in order to generalize the statement.
> which also had some ability to run your client as a cluster node that you alone get to query

FoundationDB does this as well.
From my experience it's better to just consider performance from the get-go, and carefully consider which tech stack you're using and how the specific logic / system architecture you've chosen will be performant. It's much easier than being stuck with performance problems down the road that will need a painful rewrite.

The whole mantra of avoiding "premature optimizations" was applicable in an era when "optimizations" meant rewriting C code in assembly.

New daughter. Love her immensely. So happy. Burnt out? YES.
It's probably 4 years instead of 3 --- once the manufacturer warranty ends, expect significant maintenance bills.
> So many shows are unavailable or different because of ridiculous licensing rules around music.

Or, often, because the original production bought licenses imagining more limited uses than later distribution opportunities presented, and chose not to spend extra money for things they didn’t expect to need.
I read the newspaper. Seriously...the news. It consistently provides me with problems that need solving that don't yet have a widespread "tech" answer and the subsequent research always leads me to new sources to learn from.

Editors are the unheralded SEO stars of this age. People don't make the connection between newspapers always making headlines and having to be in with the zeitgeist of the times, but they really should take another look. Sentiment analysis on the scale which matches the audience is a superpower. Hence my belief that the Bankers/VCs of our current age run the risk of some real "French Revolution" moments of they don't better control the current narrative. For too long, the story has been "excess, excess, excess" at a time when everyone else was suffering major contractions in their living standards and were constantly being sneered at for not learning to code. "Free laundry" "free lunch" and "free massage Monday" don't sound so good when at the same time vast swathes of people can't afford proper housing, food or health insurance. The costs, all of them, to society as a whole has to be reckoned with...preferably without turning to communism or fascism. Tech can solve for "X", but only if it allows many more seats at the hallowed table.

Now the Piper is coming home to roost (wow, what a mixed metaphor!) and everyone (ie: techies, VCs etc) is expressing shock and amazement at the lack of sympathy. That lack will increase significantly if the taxpayer has to bear the brunt of anymore SV/Wall Street excesses.

I can read the paper, any issue, any paper and send you a passage and my subsequent analysis if you wish...my email is in the box.
How do you know if you're truly happy? That you're working on something not because you feel the need to prove something, battle your insecurities, but rather because you want to do something meaningful?

I'm genuinely curious. Many highly-driven people seem to be insecure and egocentric and in the moment, even long periods, fuelling their ego makes them think they're happy. But if you feel happy for many years (assuming eventually this feeling fades), who's to judge that you weren't happy before?

Maybe it all depends on the person, and people can have their pathologies and subconscious desires to better their social status by justifying hustle as working to build interesting products. But maybe that's not it, and the inner motivation is something else?

you can easily create datamodel to have this in SQL dbs: create table transaction_history(..., execution_time timestamp);
C# also does not have interface implementation delegation which would be a nice to have. Unfortunately both C# and Object Pascal do not support composition over inheritance paradigm well.
It wouldn't exist without a human actively creating/capturing it so doesn't seem as though that's an actual problem. Does a photograph involve significant human authorship - choosing a prompt or choosing to click the button on your DSLR is itself the act of authorship.
You should read the court order you posted here. Specifically these parts:

"Sucedeu-se que, nos termos do que demonstrou suficientemente a autoridade policial, essa
empresa cumpriu apenas parcialmente a ordem judicial que lhe foi dirigida, uma vez que se limitou a fornecer
as informações concernentes ao administrador (e não a todos os usuários) do canal “Movimento Anti-Semita
Brasileiro”, deixando, ademais, de fornecer os dados dos usuários do grupo “卐 Frente Anti-Semita 卐”. (...) não se sustenta a argumentação, desenvolvida pelo Telegram, de impossibilidade
de apresentar os dados relativos à "卐 Frente Anti-Semita 卐", à míngua da demonstração cabal de que esse grupo (chat) foi excluído há mais de seis meses, contados da data em que recebido o ofício judicial do evento 16 (do contrário, incide sobre o provedor o dever previsto no art. 15 da Lei n. 12.965/2014)."

In other words, the judge ordered all information they had (including CPF) about all users of the groups. They gave only what they had on the admin of one of the groups, and then said they couldn't give any info about the other group because it had been closed. But not storing info for at least 6 months is against the law.

To me it's clear Telegram is in contempt of court and should be severely punished.
A good sales team, tons of devs, and some custom integrations might answer this question in the future
I guess it is most likely you are not going to write a program multiplies two numbers, but you will need to multiply matrices passed in a certain way. those matrices are big ones, so you need to allocate some space for them, then load, then do the math, then use them in some other shader to paint some pixels on screen.
I don't think it is inherently racist to claim that two culture-groups will never get along. Could you articulate the author's claim further? If it is a racist claim, I suspect it goes a bit further than this.
Yeah, this seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Rename it to 'Solder' or something before that happens.
As someone who went through the system you are wrong. Sure that might be a few cases ruled in your favor, but in the actual implementation of the rules as applied to those in the system you are incorrect. You are like the insurance company pointing to two cases where they approved treatment saying 'look, we don't deny treatment'.
Gut reaction: Any VC's want in on the "Series C" funding for my new "Chocolate Be Delicious" chain of chocolate shops? Every shop will be in close proximity to one or (generally) more weed shops.

This. Also the more experience I gained the more I realized that the least amount of code written is best. Fewer bugs, less technical debt.

Not all games or applications will use up all your resources so lower power states make sense to save energy and reduce thermals as well.

Alternatively , a game/app might trigger boosts that can’t be sustained, or some instructions like AVX that are intensive that require dropping thermals to sustain.

Power state switching is very common and a very interesting space to dial in.
> Datomic's is perfect for probably 90% of small-ish backoffice systems that never has to be web scale (i.e. most of what I do at work).

I will also argue that 90% of those don't need this. Just by seeing the term "web scale" makes me shy off.
I agree. Almost anyone of these one size fits all approaches hits a wall sooner or later. Besides very basic applications, I would never make use of frameworks like Flutter or React Native. Same goes for Windows Universal Apps. Great concepts, but not very feasible in reality for slightly complex apps with good UX.
It seems pretty possible to vehemently disagree on the "scientific racism" part without disagreeing on the second part, that we will never get along. History has yet to prove that we can on a national level, in fact, it seems pretty insistent on reminding us that there will always be forces that seek to keep us divided.

Where we have proved that as a multicultural democracy, American has been successful, I firmly believe, is one of the ways where America truly is exceptional.
