> I remember when I first learned about type inference, one of my first thoughts was, why can’t we just create a statically typed language that does type inference for everything. The compiler would still have to figure out the types at compile time anyway, and I’d save myself a few keystrokes.

Yeah, it's just playing the odds. If you don't have a safe, just print the 2FA recovery keys and put them in a closet where you have your passport and other important documents. The most important recovery keys, like probably your Gmail-account's, you might want to make extra copies and ask your parents or a friend to keep in case your house burns down or something.
Whisper is pretty good honestly. It gets my french accent in english and french slang, without having to tell it what language I'm going to speak first. That's impressive.

> The DX in Crystal is really closer to Ruby than to Go.

Me as polyglot can say that is much easier to switch completely between languages and paradigm than write or talk similar (but not equal) languages. So it is maybe a great reason for beginners to start to play with Crystal as Rubyists, but as soon as you start to work daily with the language, other factors like good documentation, tons of examples, great standard lib, active community and development, etc are much more important than if its remembers ruby or not.

But also I just started a side project with Rails. I got a CI/CD production environment with GitHub Actions, Postgres, Redis, sidekiq, and storage on Fly.io in an hour or two.

The thing that makes me more comfortable here is that none of my application code references Fly.io at all. If the project needs to grow beyond Fly I just change some environment variables and migrate the data.

But you can't look in somebody's head, to see the whole context of their behaviour. There is multiple official cognitive flaws related to this.

The [GNU] Free Software Definition

The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a particular software program qualifies as free software.

A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:

* The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

* The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

* The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2)

* The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3).

By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

As a very anecdotal data point, I once created a pet project that interfaced with a CouchDB endpoint and inserted some keys with dates in a complex nested JSON structure and deployed it to Heroku. (It was ment to be called as a Apple Shortcut)

It took me half a day with Ruby, two days with Crystal and a little more than a week with Rust. The Crystal experience was very very smooth coming from Ruby. With Rust it felt like I was wrestling with the compiler.

Cool. We definitely need fresh takes on search.

I think historically too many have been attempting to copy Google. It was a bad idea when they were great, and it's a worse idea when they're floundering. An imitation very rarely exceeds what it imitates. Is why after untold amounts of Microsoft R&D money Bing is still google-but-kinda-worse.
It would debase the S&P500 equally, so any difference between Google's performance and S&P500 performance is clearly caused by something else then inflation/debasement/etc.
Innovation doesn't help when everyone that would buy an Apple product, already owns at least one product, and when there is market line that Apple won't go to, it remains replacing devices by existing owners.

Since most people only buy new hardware when existing one breaks, or doesn't fulfil their purpose anylonger, replacing devices alone isn't sustainable.

I think it depends what you mean by 'money matters'

Some people clearly like consumption. Many are probably like me where income has gone up reasonably career progression but largely live the same lifestyle as where comfortable many years back. Any increasing excess goes onto the mortgage and savings type deal.

For me I'm happy wearing whatever clothes vs designer and actually like driving an older/cheaper car for zero care factor type thing and have few things I wish to splurge on.

At the same time money really matters as I never want to think about it. Once over a threshold it's low on my motivation and I'd generally choose more interesting work. Below the threshold I will become very motivated with it.

I'm assuming, at its core, a vector database is a collection of vectors all of the same dimension N, for some N, and is a set of points in R^N ?

No.

The key word was "Empty and unused" - if you are living in a house (i.e. it is your primary residence) and take a vacation, it's not empty and unused.

It is a problem for landlords with empty properties, or for little used vacation homes. Although apparently there are alarms which will automatically call the police when someone breaks into your property which is apparently enough to trigger the 'within 72h' deadline.

You don't lay off people (or avoid doing so) because you have large or small profits, quite the opposite, you have the profits you do because you do (or don't do) lay off people when it makes economic sense to do so.

The decision whether laying off those 12000 people improves or hurts the company is the same no matter if you have $60B net income or $6B net loss. Being hugely profitable doesn't make it worth keeping more people than you need, just as having losses doesn't make it worth firing people you do need.

I was at a conference yesterday where they had live transcription of the speakers onto big screens by the stage.

On this occasion it was a human stenographer in the back-end, but what was remarkable from is that if you didn't already know that, you'd guess from the error rate (not perfect, with difficulties that made sense in context) and the delay (bounced to another continent and back) that it was something like Whisper running locally. All the more so if you happened to know that one of the organisers has been running local AI meetups.

It seems to me like the only way up from here, now, is to aim for better than the average human stenographer. You'd have to have a system capable of reasoning "ah, what I heard was Y but they must have really meant X" when X involves knowledge that couldn't possibly be predicted from the context, like a foreign name coming up for the first time. I can believe that if the stenographer had more domain-specific knowledge that they wouldn't have made some of the errors they did, but we're already off into capabilities that are as good as an extremely rare type of human today.
My specific concern is the "tied to a device". The only devices that seem to support the keys are proprietary devices, that only offer to backup the passkeys to their proprietary services.

I can't see myself using this unless I can store the passkeys in my own keepassx (or similar) system, that I can manage 100% the backup, replication + storage of myself, without any assistance from a 3rd party.

How much harm to children is caused by the advertising industry, across the whole of society? They are not the typical 'predator' but they sure do prey on children, grooming them to buy their products, and displacing other pastimes that the children themselves would have done and loved, if it wasn't for the marketers' influence. All that potential creative activity, by children, lost due to stupid toys being pushed. What an opportunity cost that is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pester_power

Sadly there's no chance of a moral panic ever happening over this, because the media which stoke the panics, are funded by advertising from the #1 predator of children, the marketing industry. So the media are never going to bite the hand that feeds them.

And of course the traditional media loves focusing on their competitors such as social media and saying that it causes harm. While completely ignoring the advertising towards children that likely causes a different type of harm, but it's still detrimental to children.

However the severity of the harm from social media is much greater, because we have an enormous increase in suicide rates in teenagers since 2012, and the prime culprit is the smartphone.

Yep, graphics do not work. That's why it's called a "text-only browser".

If like Office documents with non-textmode fonts and other graphics, then why use a text-only browser. Text-only browser, by definition, does not display graphics. (I do not use links -g.) Text-only browser is for reading text/html.

If just want to download a document from some Google Docs endpoint, then this can be done with an HTTP client or a TCP client. Could use a text-mode browser for downloading documents but most times it's overkill, not "right tool for the job".

I doubt it told you that. I expect it told you that, if you lose access to your (password,2FA token) combination _and_ your recovery keys, you’ll lose access to your account.

You normally never need your recovery keys.

Recovery keys are a way more secure way to handle that then the “what’s your mother’s maiden name?” like questions traditionally used to handle “forgot my password”.

I passed my high school exam in 1996, in france, and a friend of mine who had internet gave me the topic for the history exam a day before.

His parents weren’t comp-science researcher, he just liked tech, and « had internet ». it was already popular amongst the general public.

On the other side, my mother once worked in a comp science research department, and she once brought me to the lab, where people would create me an email. That was something around 1990. She told me « they’re all crazy with that internet thing ». i never used that email, i didn’t even understand what that was, pretty much nobody in the general audience did. Being able to predict that it would be big at that time maybe would have been prescient, although it was already the consensus amongst people in the field.

They probably could find "a competent CEO", but that's not the bar, and it doesn't make sense to do so, because of the oversized impact and risks. If you're 99% certain that a person is as competent as the current CEO and 1% they're a dud like Carly Fiorina, then saving a measly $100m is not worth the enormous risk. And if you've got a candidate that makes you certain that they would be even slightly more competent than Pichai, then it would be worth paying an extra $100m to get them; if CEO A can get e.g. 1% more efficiency than CEO B (for example, by being more aggressive at laying off people) then that's easily worth that money.
