> in general people look funny at you when they see you with an yahoo email address instead of a Gmail

That's the only problem I have after migrating to Fastmail: it takes serious effort to make people over the phone understand that I have an email in a different domain. I can spell it letter by letter, but people often still can't figure just where this funny thing I'm dictating should be put. There's a problem with @ sign, too - somehow, people tend to forget it exists. Well, it exists to separate user from domain, and since they don't know the domain part exists, they don't need to know about the separator I guess.

TLDR: if not on GMail, you need to make a habit of sending the address in an SMS, forgo all hopes of giving it to someone over the phone.
(wallows in despair)
Depends on the use case but all physical resources are finite in some limit so you may want to distribute that load so the different domain processes can scale appropriately. When/where/how is dependent on the application you’re building.
I don't have access to stats, but is it really particularly successful? I just checked and the Boca - Downtown Miami route takes 51 minutes, compared to (not quite comparable) Boca - MIA on the Trirail in 61 minutes. This, with way fewer stops in between. I can't believe too many commuters are paying a premium price unless they're specifically wanting to go downtown for work.
I imagine this sort of thing happened all the time.

Look at it this way: If the CIA had provided the FBI with information on Bayoumi when the FBI requested it, their target might have been arrested/prosecuted/deported and they would lose the lead.

Also, back in that era, information sharing between CIA and FBI was not even permitted.

"On Monday, Senator Lindsey Graham and I asked the Justice Department to produce any documents they may have in their possession relating to Jamie Gorelick's involvement in establishing policies preventing the sharing of critical terrorism-related information between intelligence and law enforcement officials. It is the fact that those have now been made public and, indeed, posted on the Department of Justice's Web site at www.usdoj.gov which brings me back to the Senate floor to briefly mention why I think Ms. Gorelick's testimony is even more important to explaining what she did as a member of the Justice Department under Janet Reno to erect and buttress this wall that has been the subject of so much conversation and why it is so much more important that she do so because the 9/11 Commission's credibility is at stake."
Success stories like this make a better argument for "Why Lisp?" than abstract blog posts.

Yeah, I think a lot of first-time buyers forget how few of the premium cuts are on one cow. With a 1/4 purchase you're gonna get half a tenderloin roast, half a rib roast, etc.
Sounds par for the course for most tech companies?

It's not like these companies that do this don't have extremely rough interviews and clarify expectations of 55 hour weeks prior to employment. If you don't find enjoyment in working long hours, seems like that's not the company you want to be working at? There are plenty of companies with a better work/life balance, but they tend to pay less.
Poor Pichai would only end up with a meager $113 million after tax, so sad.
I didn’t say all valid ideas must be intuitive, but that if an idea is not intuitive then we should have some other reason to believe it is worth investigating.
The difference between the headset doing 3dof by default (expected for something like time warp and only need accelerometers) and getting an API that parses the camera feed for 6dof head and controller tracking and wiring that up to OpenXR seems like a huge leap.
This is such a Hackernews comment.

> The idea that a company can keep removing something consumers want to pay for, but they won't notice, just doesn't exist in the real world.

Have you heard of shrinkflation?
All true, although in some cases you can avoid the "need to raise capital problem" by using normal business loans rather than selling ownership stake. You still need to grow to pay back the loan but you don't have the problem of new investors with their hands in the pot making demands.
You can also run BirdNET on a RPi and record all day. It's very cool the patterns you can find. Also birdweather.com as a map of collected data
this kind of stuff is OLD. much older that you think... it's been getting more and more sophisticated since (at least) the romans, and surely in medieval times.

they only different thing is now it happens online, hence it's all much closer to 'real time' unlike the historical versions
Is there any scenario where these would be enabled by default? Or is it strictly a manual opt-in?
I'm extremely pro-remote work, but I think Sam's got a point with early early early stage products. When you have ~5 people and 1-2M in funding, you need all the benefits you can get with respect to communication.
That link seems to be making a strong case against using the same database for multiple services, without coming right out and saying it.

There are few principles that hold, I've found, when it comes to designing software at a startup.

Most companies of this size might not be around in a few years. For those first few years it's a good practice to refrain from thinking about the company as a software company (the notable exception being a startup that is literally building software products like libraries, databases, compilers, etc... then disregard this advice). It's a business trying to find product-market fit that happens to use software.

Under this lens it doesn't make sense to start writing software if you can avoid doing so: the company might not be around in the next year or two if it can't land those first customers and start growing. The less you write, the less you have to maintain, the more you can focus on what matters: finding that product-market fit.

This means optimize for doing the least amount of work and writing the least amount of software possible. Use frameworks (code you didn't write), libraries (code you didn't write), and services (code + infrastructure you don't maintain) as much as possible. TFA points out several of these: use an auth service, use a PaaS, etc.

The majority of your "software" often looks and feels like glorified configuration. You're pulling together frameworks and libraries on top of services that do most of the work for you. Good. You've kept your capital costs down and didn't spend time building something you're going to throw out at a moments notice!

It's when you gain traction and your services bills start ballooning and your customers start to demand transparency, reliability, that you need to start thinking about hosting your own software and building an architecture that suits your applications' usage patterns. This generally happens after the business has found a niche and is now focusing on adding customers rather than finding them.
I think Forth beats Lisp out in these domains. To program at all in Forth is to write a DSL and to metaprogram. It is extremely common to come into a Forth codebase in an enterprise environment, and it looks nothing like anything you've seen before. Hand an intermediate Lisp programmer a codebase where the first 1000 lines are completely replacing all the built-ins and then swapping to some non-sexpr language, you're going to get a lot of headscratches and frustration. A Forth programmer will have expected this and have a large bottle of APAP in their hand for the ensuing task ahead of them. In this same way, Forth is also an important lesson as to why these things are more "anti-features" when you base your entire language's identity around them.
That website is cool, but it flies closer to trademark parody/violations than I thought possible against a massive conglomerate like IKEA.
Web Environment Integrity
WebAuthn goes to great lengths to preserve user privacy, much more so than past alternatives, so I don't think there's a expansion of information, especially when the device is probed for capabilities which is extremely pervasive with browsers today. There is some new info with attestation, but other than it not being very widespread in practice, attestation keys are shared by a minimum of 100k devices.

In general, the intent of attestation seems to be enterprise use cases where companies want to issue authenticators that meet certain capabilities, and only allow those capabilities as attested by a trusted party. For instance, a company might mandate Webauthn with user verification for their internal systems, and they don't want an employee using a software based virtual authenticator that fakes UV and keeps key material in plain text, so they issue Yubikeys to their staff and only allow Yubikeys to be used for logging in (issued or otherwise, as the RP can't differentiate them). I have not seen a single instance of attestation being used to gatekeep access to an otherwise public service, but I'd like to see some examples if there are any. Enterprise attestation is a different beast, however, and can uniquely identify an individual security key, but this has significant management overhead and will not be seen outside of enterprise use cases.

Now I understand you personally don't value attestation as highly as some other features of WebAuthn and that's fine, I'm on the same boat. However that's the nature of standards and how they come about, there's multiple interests in the working groups. It's hard to say what's the "biggest" security increase because that's entirely relative to the individual or corporation implementing, consuming, or standarizing the functionality.

As to whether there can be a phishing-resistant trust-establishment mechanism, I absolutely agree that there can be. All I'm saying is that there isn't an interoperable one currently, and that it's hard to establish interoperability across vendors and without an online sync fabric (I'd presume most users would want to export key material to a file or otherwise not rely necesarily on a third party phone-home service to export keys). I also think that it exceeds the scope of FIDO and will have to be primarily OS-vendor-driven. For me, personally, this along with something like the recovery extension that Yubico is promoting is one of the potential future features I'm most excited about.

Related, and for the other reason why import/export is hard, which is the reasoning about the ecosystem, I don't think that even with such a mechanism we'll ever be able to export keys out if iCloud Keychain and into KeePassXC. What will most likely happen is that credentials generated by KeePaasXC and backed by hardware, will be able to be imported/exported in/out of devices in the same trust circle, using a KeePassXC sync fabric as the sync mechanism.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was talking about the where people felt their rights were infringed because they couldn't go to a restaurant without a vaccine.

Surely, forcing people to get a vaccine at gunpoint is as serious as it gets.

The middle-ground is trickier: how to think about professionals who have been effectively forced to get a vaccine at the cost of losing their jobs and livelihood.

In practice though I've heard way more complaining about absolute freedom from people in the former camp.

As for the adequate birth control angle: sure, some people are careless, some people are just young, birth control methods do fail, etc. there are so many ways you can end up with a unwanted pregnancy, including some that are easier to sympathize with even for the most strict defender of the morals (I hope), like rape.

It's up to the people of a democratic country to decide if they want to try. Overthrowing the government because it may potentially go that way it's not what the West nominally defend as their values.

Chile of Allende may actually have had a chance to avoid that destiny had not it been for US actively destroying their economy; they were for once trying modern social and economic projects based on scientific models that might have made a difference, but that was thrown away with the dictatorship.
Some people just don't care about things like that. They might pretend to care because that might get them what they want, but they see actually caring to be a weakness.

> That's impossible.

I dunno about those tests[1] showing 10h of video meetings, but it's certainly not impossible. At least one other person in this thread reports the same.

Besides, that means that the best case scenario for video only is 10h; I specifically said that I have an IDE running too.

[1] A test using the hardware codecs would certainly do well. I don't have control over what google meets supplies in the way of codecs.
Actually CDs are bit funny. Wouldn't the weight ever so marginally depend on the record? And actually compared to blanks it would have different weight. At least for commercially pressed ones. As there would be pits in the disc. I'm not sure if you account for all components that is acrylic, aluminium and polycarbonate.
How do you define single issue? Take a budget bill. There can be hundreds of line items in the budget. Are you saying every line item should be its own bill? That would take all year just to do one budget.

If not, where do you draw the line?

It sucks that people will be out of commission once AI can do the same work basically for free. For years I have always felt that with more tax and a sort of “freedom fund” more people will be able to make “free” stuff in public for the global good. The only way to get there is to stop paying for stuff such that we eventually get to a utopian future as seen in Star Trek. Although the intervening period would be chaotic. For example, we pay tolls on some roads but we don’t pay cash every time we want to walk down the street - that idea sounds crazy. Likewise, if we could support the work of creators with UBI then we could all enjoy free software, media, books, etc. I know I would keep creating, because I love it. But for now the middleman wants to get his share so it seems sensible that we must pay companies for their produce directly.

To be even more extreme, a _lot_ of people think if anything is public, it is fair gain to consume and reuse. If you didn’t have to worry about getting paid, would you care about someone enjoying and using your work? Perhaps the opposite - that would be your motivation.

That sounds a lot like corporate leadership.
Do LLMs "learn" how to code by reading documentation, or by reading code? I was under the impression that it was more the latter; a programming language or library which was documented but had few or no examples of real use in the wild for the LLM to consume would (I think) be hard for current LLMs to work with.

Unfortunately, I can't think of a real-world example (library where ChatGPT has probably seen the documentation, but not any source code) to try out.
This piece of the story I do not understand.

"People in a position to know have suggested that the CIA concealed information about Hazmi and Mihdhar’s travel because the CIA wanted to recruit them through Saudi intelligence, which would go a long way to support the defense theory that the United States and Al Qaeda are not at war..."

I don't grasp how showing the CIA was attempting to recruit these people as operatives proves we are not currently at war with Al Qaeda; intelligence services try to recruit operatives in an opposing force's camp all the time.
Why not? It's in Florida, and one way or another, Florida policymaking enabled mass transit where it made sense.

You probably don't like that it's a private company on private land, but that's irrelevant to the question of decarbonation.
> Also, back in that era, information sharing between CIA and FBI was not even permitted.

What possible reason could there be for this? Both are supposed to serve the same government, one domestic and the other foreign. What would be the negatives with sharing information with each other?
For whatever reason, these products aren't designed or marketed for people with limited mobility. If they were, they'd have a clear goal and maybe even a subsidy.
You can technically do everything with both tools, but each is optimized for a particular situation. They're so closely related that many people think of them as competing alternatives rather than as situational alternatives.
It's not about Pichai personally. By design, a company must deliver value to it's shareholders.
American adventurism is usually a loss for the American state, not necessarily a loss for the multinational corporations who benefit from that Adventurism. It's a classic privatize profits, publicize losses scenario.

The thing you miss, and is the most important part of an actual retrospective is to put covid into context. Focusing myopically on only covid outcomes to the literal exclusion of virtually all other issues was one of the big fuckups made. Believe it or not, even back in April of 2020 there was millions of other problems besides covid.

Examine only covid outcomes is not a retrospective at all. Examining the sum of all outcomes for all things holistically is a retrospective. And doing that you only arrive at one conclusion: literally every single thing society chose to do for covid was wrong. We could have done nothing at all and been better off.

There is more to living than the avoidance of exactly one specific disease. Anything that attempts to focus on only covid outcomes is not a retrospective. It’s a circle jerk.

Even in Scrum, a Sprint Goal is not a batch of tickets, and for kanban the period re-evaluation of goals/priorities can be even less like that. And, of course, a review can be whatever there is to review.

What I am saying is that, insofar as cyclical touch points are a valuable customer-interaction feature of Scrum (and even when doing “proper Agile” with daily interaction with the customer as part of development, which is more an exception than the rule in most “Agile” places I’ve seen, the fact that “the customer” is usually an organization and the ideal daily interaction is individuals at the working level, not whole-team-to-whole-team level, those periodic touchpoints are useful) you can have them in Kanban while maintaining continuous flow as opposed to sprint-oriented flow in the development team.
I have it, its not really that big of a deal to me.
I agree with you that tipping transparency would be good, but honestly they should just raise the minimum wage and stop worker exploitation, that's a much better solution.
Yes, but there may be huge differences in how it is done that may allow for rapid change. E.g., orbital reflector systems could be "turned off" within hours, or rapidly degrading reflective atmospheric pollutants could be reversed at the rate of decay, perhaps months. Of course, the advantage of any solution that will not degrade for decades is lower maintenance costs, but...

Seems the ability to reverse or tune any solution should be a critical factor in selecting a geoengineering project.
I thought this part was particularly interesting:

> "Their position is that because Mr. Musk is famous and might be more of a target for deep fakes, his public statements are immune," she wrote. "In other words, Mr. Musk, and others in his position, can simply say whatever they like in the public domain, then hide behind the potential for their recorded statements being a deep fake to avoid taking ownership of what they did actually say and do. The Court is unwilling to set such a precedent by condoning Tesla's approach here."

Perhaps the “Best textbooks on every subject” thread[1] at Less Wrong will be more to your liking?

(I have found good popsci books to sometimes be better at conveying historical context, though, simply because textbooks may consider that context to be out of scope, and in a formal settings your professor’s asides would compensate for that. Then, of course, there are textbooks disguised as popsci ones, like Aaronson’s quantum computing one.)

There's no free lunch here. Typical reverse osmosis filters produce one unit of clean water for every three units of intake, functionally tripling the cost of water (not including the price of the filters themselves, which should be replaced annually).
