Google Cloud is fantastic compared to the others. I don't know why people still go to AWS, nothing interesting has happened, it seems like very little has changed. My biggest gripes are the cookie cutter EC2 vs the flexibility of GCP VMs and the account/project switching in AWS vs GCP.

Google is also one of the few companies at the forefront of AI. There is definite innovation there.
Ah, bummer.

Thanks for the links.
I think the argument is that JSDoc already gives them type validation. If you're going to go the effort of porting to a completely different language and add a compilation step that new language better provide some benefits beyond types like papering over warts like Kotlin does.
Thx for the reference. I hadn't seen this before.

>The CDC's guidance is that everyone has a single shot of the "updated" vaccine which has higher efficacy against omicron/later strains -- no matter how many vaccines they've previously had.

The CDC is making the claim everyone should get the updated shot vs previous. They made that claim without any human trial data comparing the two. Work has been done subsequently comparing bivalent to monovalent immune response; they are about the same.
How does that compares to the kind of cognitive problems created by long covid, i.e. riveted to the bed and/or unable to read/concentrate/think ever again, etc?

It's not exactly what you're asking, but a few years ago I revisited the Spectrum programming of my youth in an emulator using modern editors and assemblers etc outside the emulated hardware. The emulator could pause and trace all the memory locations live which made debugging great.

It was a way easier, more fun and productive experience than doing it for real on an 8bit machine was back in the day.

There simple explanation for this. Getting the models which small startup cannot afford to develop and train is the only way to move forward. To get some investments, or before spending their own money, they need a proof of concept at least. Besides, working models are a good learning resource.

I have observed a more insidious problem - the Youtubers that used to be genuine and down to earth are now themselves compromised by being sent products to give their honest opinion.
The other day I was watching a video about this nice couple who wanted to start their bulldozer that was frozen in the forest and suddenly they pull out this "powerbank 1300" (name deliberately changed) and started a sales spiel ! About how they have all these gopros and iphones and look how many ports this thing has, and how it can charge the dead dozer battery blah blah.

Matthias Wandel today released a video about a Ecobank 1300 - I am shocked at how the content creators themselves have become a poisoned well !

These 1300WH banks are waaay overpriced for the amount it would cost to buy the individual 18650 cells (probably $100 worth of cells being sold for $999), so these content creators are shills and sellouts to these marketing tactics.
Really? I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad on Premium.
Type casting (type assertion, in TS parlance) is incredibly annoying to do in JS/JSDoc. In an ideal world, that would be a distinct advantage because type assertions are typically, or at least should be, considered risky: it’s a brute force way to ignore type errors. In the real world, you might find you have to correct inferred types, sometimes because they’re naively wide (eg, so many DOM interfaces devolve from HTMLElement to Element for no obvious reason!), but also often because they’re overly narrow (eg, so many dynamic collection member accesses completely ignore null safety, again for no obvious reason).

In practice, what I’ve found is that the hassle of adding type assertions even if they’re correct nudges me to write worse code (“to appease the type checker”) in JS/Doc than it does in TypeScript syntax. I don’t think TypeScript syntax makes me feel more relaxed about writing unsafe type assertions, but I’m probably an outlier because I pretty much only do that when I’ve exhausted every other available/known approach.
I don’t block ads - I block YouTube trying to monetise things that are built into the internet and my phone - eg. Video that plays in the background when I close the website

This is great. Is the audience you are targetting start-ups? Or more lifestyle businesses?

I've got 2 marketing projects right now.

1) to our users and people on the waitlist
2) to investors we've met with - more of a "what's new with us" thing.

I think the 2nd is something that isn't given enough attention by start-ups that are in fundraising mode, though I'm not sure if that's a target you've considered.

> Reality: McMansions are popular because they are comfortable and provide living space for an actual family. While being NOT more expensive on a per-unit basis than tiny condos in major urban centers.

> I get it, millenials got screwed by the unfortunate confluence of 2008 and by the economy finally transforming from manufacturing economy into a service-based one. They can't afford large houses, so the psychological defense mechanism kicks in: "Hey, these McMansions are bad anyway. It's good to downsize into a shoebox".

So they're popular because they're affordable, but they're hated because they're expensive? Which is it?

> But at this point we perhaps should start answering the question: do we want cities to continue being densified into Manhattan-style concrete canyons, or should we make sure that our children can live in nice houses that our generation was not able to afford?

Manhattan is popular, aspirational even, for a reason. Every generation before the 1950s was built by gradual densification. The wrongheaded decision to try to pickle cities in aspic via zoning laws is what creates housing unaffordability. A "nice" lifestyle is far more about being able to live somewhere you can work and socialize than about having zillions of sterile square feet to yourself.

Agreed on the high costs. That said, I am very happy with my flip. Smaller pocket footprint, and far fewer accidental unlocks now. (That is, my phone used to unlock with me just putting hands in pocket. Very annoying.)

Also feels good to "close" the phone. In ways that locking doesn't quite reach.
Sorry, but you’re creating a false dichotomy.

The _vast majority_ of land in the US, urban centers included, including NYC, is zoned for low density single family homes. Manhattan is only 1 of 5 boroughs in NYC, remember.

There is NO shortage of single family homes.

There IS a shortage of absolute number of units in urbanized areas.

This is because, contrary to what you claim, the only thing allowed to be built in many areas is exclusively single family homes.

> Should we make sure that our children can live in nice houses that our generation was not able to afford

I say this as a relatively fortunate homeowner in Los Angeles who is part of “this generation”: if we do not allow more homes to be built, the next generation will not be able to live in the city at all.

I myself would not have been able to afford my home in the city and neighborhood I love had the recent state zoning changes (sb9) which allowed me to convert my single family home into to a duplex not occurred.

That's how I view the term. It seems personal, like many other parts of a person's identity. I myself am an ex-mormon and don't like the term lapsed mormon for myself because I had issues with the faith and tried to work through them before willfully breaking the rules. There's nothing wrong with people doing it in a way that is better characterized by lapsed but it would be a bit misleading to portray how I left this way. That said, there are people who are less lapsed and left more deliberately than me.

To me it sounds mostly like you're describing a well-planned Victorian.

> responsible usage of [MDMA] is actually in the best interests of the company.

I have to admit, I haven't heard that one before.
Dense k-Subgraph, eh? I wrote a dissertation on that in a past life.

From a quick read of the paper, it looks like the only classical algorithms they compare to are greedy, random search, and simulated annealing (which is more or less random plus greedy). For random or semi-random instances like those described in this writeup, there are oftentimes substantially better classical algorithms (both random and deterministic) that one can use to try to find dense components (including, ironically, so-called "spectral" algorithms which are entirely classical).

They don't provide the specific parameter setting so I can't give a single definitively better method, but I'm relatively unimpressed by their finding that a somewhat heavily engineered approach can defeat a handful of braindead classical algorithms.
I don't think it's actually using PaLM 2.
If it is, it's not great, but I heavily doubt it is.

The commentary they've made on it could mean many things.
One of the possibilities is that they're using the API to PaLM-2 to classify the language and translate it to English if necessary, such that the simpler and non multilingual Bard model can handle it.
Obviously this isn't necessarily what is occurring, and it could be just Bard is now palm-2 for some instances for testing, or a full rollout.
Ultimately we don't know - because it's not open source, and companies are not great about telling you what they're actually doing.
Although it's not the code C++ will be using the Rust implementation is a bit easier to follow:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/sys/unix/locks/futex_mutex...

Unlock is just:: self.futex.swap(0, Release) -- if the value we get back is 2 then we know at least one thread is asleep waiting on this futex, so we need a system call to wake them, but in the uncontended case we're done immediately.
This seems like democracy is dead in Brazil. If the brazilian court has such perfect monopoly on truth and can decide that much, why bother holding elections at that point. Since in any election most parties are saying different things, the court can just ban all the others for misinformation and give power to the party they agree with. Better yet, they can rename themselves "King's Council" and take one of theirs as King, since truth is already known and rest is "illicit disinformation"
Just a passerby, but content isn't fungible; no one is replacing Technology Connections with House of the Dragon or vice versa. The diversity of YouTube's content, the back catalog, its default status, network effects, integration with devices and services, and so much more make it hard to replace.

And we shouldn't forget, rando users can upload whatever for sharing, which none of your alternatives do. Kind of the core idea there.

Well of course, it seemed like that part went without saying.

There have been a bunch of times in my life when I delayed purchasing or felt guilty about purchasing something genuinely valuable but very expensive.

But then when you're in year 5 or 7 of using it daily, you're like... best use of my money ever. That's the point here.

If you spend a ton of time needing a large screen, using this for 3 years might be that expensive purchase that pays off for you.

It was a pretty tough assignment iirc. In my mind an assignments purpose is to learn - which I did from putting in the effort and then reviewing the solution after submitting.

I looked into subscribing because I don't mind paying to avoid the ads.

I don't like the spying that will go along with paying, given that it is Alphabet/Google. If they offered a plan to pay without the spying I would have signed up years ago.

I didn't try so I could be wrong but my guess is your payment will be tied directly to your login and so you need to have that login on the browser at all times to view the videos (without ads) and given all the decline of "do no evil" I don't trust them at all.

I also don't trust they wouldn't mess things up. I travel a lot. I paid for YouTube TV and the ludicrous junk they do to try and verify you are able to view things was a huge pain and failed quite a lot until it failed nearly always I and dropped it.

I imagine if they push me I will pay and then have to copy and paste every YouTube url into a sanitized browser instance only used for YouTube. But I don't trust Alphabet/Google to not constantly be attempting to use that subscription to improve and deepen their spying which annoys me quite a bit. I just trust them a tiny bit more than Microsoft (and I ditched using anything by Microsoft decades ago - other than my use of LinkedIn continuing after they bought it and very occasional uses of Bing to check on it).
France forced Bulgaria to close several nuclear reactors. Much appreciated. Great for the climate and everything. Smart for them I guess.
