>>Case in point, I wanted to transfer a pic from an Android phone to an IPhone and was surprised to find that ios doesn't allow bluetooth file transfer!

>This is the kind of thing that Android people like to complain about, but the complaint is based in a failure to appreciate that iOS doesn't work like Android.

I'm going to have to disagree with you here. Airdrop is basically the same thing as Android's Quick Share/Nearby Share, utilizing BT to find and pair devices, and then perform a direct wifi transfer of data. Android<->Android works no problem. iOS/MacOS<->iOS/MacOS no problem. Hell, I can even do this between Android devices and Windows/Linux machines. But Android<-/->iOS/MacOS - FOR NO GOOD REASON other than to keep them separate for capitalist reasons (doesn't matter what excuse you give it, brand differentiation, brand protection, walled-garden security - they're all excuses at the end of the day).

>There's only very limited interaction with the file system in iOS. This is by design.

In response to that, Apple can very easily extend the functionality over the API-layer to allow the sharing of, AT LEAST, photos and videos between Android and iOS/MacOS devices without having to worry so much about this issue. No need to give direct filesystem access.
> project context seems like a good thing to be able to preserve and replicate between the various frames.

Believe it or not, I actually named the executable 'frame'. However I'm unwilling to share it[1] until I have a good 5m explanation (it's all shell-based).

[1] Well, announce it, anyway. It opensource anyway.
Yup. Lower costs are a reflection of less human effort going into getting the same result. That's a great move.

In an ideal world all work would be done by automation, and everyone else would be free to do what they wanted for fun.
Is $160/week just for your coverage? I've worked at small startups and medium sized public companies, and my healthcare coverage costs have been far less than that.
None of those things are violence.
As much as I love React and it has been a positive part of my career, I'm starting to think there really are better alternatives. Its staying power may just be the sheer number of people supporting its ecosystem and competent enough to build things with it.

I'm content to keep working with it, and I'm so familiar with it that for small tasks it's kind of my go-to. If I was building something I wanted to be long-live a future-friendly, I might be hesitant to run with React at this point. To be honest though, I'm not sure what's better than would be a clear contender for having similar staying power. I wouldn't complain if that turned out to be Solid.
Can confirm. Have done this for the last several years. Wife stopped working a few years back due to an injury (but no disability or other income for better or worse), so I've been the sole breadwinner the last few years. I've typically been bringing in between $150k and $220k (gross), and we've spent most of the last ... 7-8 years not doing or buying much. Min obligations each month are now around $3000/month (mortgage, utilities, food, insurance), so there's been a bunch of savings.

I can't retire and never have to work again, but I'm slowing down a bit, and spending more time not earning money (gym, reading, travel, etc).

On second though, if I absolutely needed to, we could probably 'retire' tomorrow, and do a bit more belt-tightening - savings/investments would last probably another 10-12 years without any major changes to lifestyle, then could collect social security. But that's... not something I want to do. I like doing most of what I'm doing, and am just being a bit choosier about what I do now.

You are unlikely to get amazing dimming performance using constant current with a 24V strip intended for constant voltage operation.

For a bench application like this, get a constant current strip from Bridgelux. They’re cheap and excellent. Digi-key sells them. The “thrive” series is a bit less efficient but has a very nice spectrum. The tiny drivers from Cuvee Systems work well, start quickly, and dim well, but any ordinary LED driver can drive them. Or the bench power supply :)

For 24V tape, here are a few decent choices for drivers:

The Meanwell PWM series. The frequency is below IEEE 1789 recommendations but is okay.

eldoLED LinearDRIVE. The best, but kind of expensive and annoying to use. Program it for a log curve. Here, for example:

These are convenient but massively overpriced:

I am of the understanding that much of the allure of the G-Shock is the 2-15 year battery life. This offering takes what I assume is one of the biggest benefits of a G-Shock and trades it for fitness tracking capabilities that are available through many other solutions that offer much better battery life.
Work at work, enjoy life outside of work. Have real weekends and evenings and use them to reset your brain. Allowing your brain to reset is an essential part of being productive. Your short term memory gets in the way of solving problems sometimes. And your brain actually does useful things while you sleep. I've lost count of how solutions to seemingly tricky issues just pop in my head after a good night sleep or after a long weekend.

And you can learn on the job. No need to do that outside work hours. And trying to learn stuff when you are tired after a long day is hard. It makes you more tired, you learn slower, it's frustrating, and you are setting yourself up for being less productive the next day because of it.

Make time for learning stuff, demand time for it even and put it in your calendar or just sneak it in. Get your boss to support you.

Try working smarter, not harder. If it feels like monkey work automate it. It's more fun and you get more productive by doing less. Frees up some time to do more interesting things.

If your work is not interesting to you, you are in the wrong job anyway. But assuming it is, you should make the most of it in terms of making it rewarding (and not just in the money sense).
Based on what do you think it's comparable to GPT-3.5 and not to 4? Did we see a lot of public performance?
We already lose tax revenue when companies profits go do. I don't see what the problem is. In this scenario the government would hold a wide portfolio of stock (every publicly traded company) and so should be insulated from individual variations except in the case of a major downturn, which effects government revenue already.
Here's an interesting talk related to app workers working collectively https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8rJN4ikQhQ

The question I wish the authors of this paper had asked, which seems like a key question to me is: "Why do keep working on this platform if it pays so little? Why not get another job?"

If it's because they cannot find any other employment and this is the only work they can find (sometimes the case for newcomers to the country etc.), then removing gig jobs would appear to result in them having no employment at all.

In many cases (I might even guess "most cases") people do work through these apps because they allow a level of flexibility people cannot typically get from other jobs. If you work at Nandos you can't decide to take the morning off or work a couple extra hours during some downtime, you can't stay home a few days if your child is sick or childcare falls through and pick up working again once the disruption abates or unilaterally decide to switch from morning to evening hours for a few days.

Some people just don't like dealing with coworkers and a boss. In any event, I think the "why" behind peoples' decisions to do these jobs is highly relevant, and I think that the flexibility these gigs provide should be factored in when comparing them to a job at a grocery store or something, as it seems like an apples to oranges comparison.
Certainly social media companies can choose to disallow suggestions that people take illegal actions. But that's not what the moderation policy for "illegal" content says.

It says "Content that violates local or international laws or regulations."

I don't know all the laws of all the countries, but my local laws make very little content illegal. Various types of obscenity, true threats, etc. "You should do drugs while you watch a movie about drugs" is definitely not one of those.

It would be very easy, if that's what they want, to change it to "Content that encourages breaking local or international laws or regulations."

There are a lot of people out there who interpret "Python is a slow language" as an attack, rather than just something that engineers need to know and account for at solution time.

There are also a non-trivial number of people out there who read about the constant stream of performance improvements and end up confusing that with absolute high performance; see also the people who think Javascript JITs mean Javascript is generally at C performance, because they've consumed too many microbenchmarks where it was competitive with C on this or that task, and got 500% faster on this and 800% faster on that, and don't know that in totality it's still on the order of 10x slower than C.

It is, unfortunately, something that still needs to be pointed out.
I wrote:

"Use tools, of course, but don't let them do the hard part for you."

I didn't say I was opposed to using the AI tools. I'm opposed to using them to think for you — to do the "hard part." If they help with a turn-of-phrase or vocabulary or structure or whatever then they're just a more advanced version of tools people already use for those things.

I know it's not a contest, but I just turned 65. I'm currently an individual contributor at a small-ish SaaS company.

I've been a systems programmer, software development director at a well-known retailer, consultant, and (mostly) an entrepreneur who started four companies.

I still LOVE to code. Nothing like the satisfaction, though I enjoyed all the other things I did too.

Ageism is real in our industry. Note the comments below from 30-somethings who are worried their careers are over! Honestly, I'm pretty up-to-date with skills and knowledge. Plus I have so much experience, I know what works and what doesn't work, in the meta sense (architectures, organizations, etc.).

I recently even took on a side gig with a start-up. At our ages, you have to know someone who knows you and knows you'll be good. The good news is that, at our age, we know lots of people.
What a weirdly aggressive attack... Either I'm selfish and have a lot of biases or I'm lazy.

Could it not be that as a person with an interest in AI and general technology I am wondering if there is any detail on what does an "AI" look for to determine a "sensationalist" title and how does it "desensationalize" it?

I have scanned the twitter feed and the app and just wondering if there is anything on how it works. The answer can be no.
I had similar thoughts for a while. What helped me was instead of aiming to make all of the time outside work productive (3-4 hours) just aim for under an hour. For me, 40 min of producitivity per day outside of work makes me feel accomplished. You can actually get a lot done in that span of time like do some exercise, practice an instrument, read an article... (pick one per day and cycle through the week). Not much immediate gratification, but over the years it adds up to a tonn of personal development. Plus with a 40-min window you don't feel guilt about abandoning your other family duties etc.

I switched to CotEditor a few years ago, but before that I used BBEdit starting from way back on System 6 on a Mac SE.

Definitely a great utility, but recently a bought the new version and just a few weeks later a new version was released that required me to buy it again. That soured me a bit on the company.

I really like CotEditor though. Fully native Mac app, works great.

Trivially parallelizable algorithms are definitely in the "not generally applicable" regime. But you're right, they're capable of hitting arbitrarily large, hardware-dependent speedups. And that's definitely something a sufficiently intelligent compiler should be able to capture through dependency analysis.

Note that I don't doubt the 35k speedup -- I've seen speedups into the millions -- I'm just saying there's no way that can be a representative speedup that users should expect to see.

This comes up often. What do you think would happen if you sent a “IPv4+” packet? All the ossified equipment would drop it. So you have to replace all this equipment, ideally _once_ so we ought to make it count.
Nobody was forced to do anything. They defended ecohealth because they were told to do so by mainstream left wing media, who pushed that shaky narrative with no evidence purely because anything that disagreed with Trump was profitable
Ehh, I think the usage of atomic bombs had nothing to do with ending the war, and everything to do with military dick-waving.

"We have nukes, and we're not afraid to use it".

Well, it's war. Discussing morality of actions in war is a fool's errand. Typically the actions of the winners are morally justifiable because they won, and for this reason they tend to write history.

While Chinese developers appear to have been quite prolific contributions, it seems that China is now moving toward establishing its own platforms, foundations, and projects within its own Internet.
Kinda. But it`s going to be a lot like how data compression works. There will always be a somewhat fundamental limit to how much "creativity" you can get out of a small prompt generating large texts when using an isolated model.
We don't even have a definition of "productivity" in the realm of programming, so I don't know what anyone would study. I have made a good living on a laptop for years, with no external monitor or any other accessories. I feel productive with this setup, and when I had multiple monitors years ago I didn't feel any boost. I noticed many of the other programmers keeping Facebook or Twitter open on their second monitor at that job, which may have caused a productivity hit, I don't know, because at that job, like every job I've had in my career, we didn't have any way to measure productivity.
Try being a little more understanding. Psychological prisons are almost never obvious to oneself. It takes time, especially dead time, to recognize the impact of our words and behaviours on ourselves and the people we surround ourselves with. Perhaps this post was the first major step for this person after much internal deliberation.
Yes it looks like what I read in the past was wrong and you are right, it's about the angle of how the sunlight passes the atmosphere. Also about the cholesterol oil your skin produce and what you said.
These are fine, but it definitely favors west coast people (I'm on west coast) when most people are on west coast.

My east coast colleagues are sometimes pulled into things that go until 6pm their time. Most west coasters start their day around 9am which is east coast lunch, so those folks are usually "fully available" for maybe a 2 hour window. Again, maybe this is fine if a team is just a support team or does something not that meaningful overall. If you're pushing the envelope building new products, ideating, or figuring things out AKA you need a lot of collaboration, you will suffer in personal life in the current model.
Will definitely use that for my next dopamine detox cycle.
Alternate model:

Iterative refinement with an AI will make you think better by shortening the feedback loop.

The AI will force you to clarify your points because, if not, you will see it has meandered into the weeds when writing based on your prompt.

And since you have not authored the prompt directly, you will have to critically read it to validate fidelity to your view point.

This will help you build the skill of critical assessment as well as how to concisely specify your ideas.
Haha maybe that’s the answer for you personally. I wouldn’t take more money for a worse job (generally), so I guess I am assuming money isn’t also the second answer

"This suggests that the department reclassified all of FTX’s contractors to full-time employees in order to arrive at such a large tax payroll-related tax claim."

Genius. Why not, free money. Unless of course you don't think government agencies should play fast and loose with their enforcement based on the likelihood of the defending party to successfully resist.
Eh, or they just save time and headache.

Because you can't code.
Yeah, had to get clued up on this for new house in London. A few points:

1. It is unlikely that hydrogen will be pushed heavily by the UK gov because of the expensive pipe rework. The reason they're pushing hard for heat pumps is because of the Glasgow Climate Pact; they're on the hook to reduce carbon emissions or pay heavy fines. To that extent, subsidising heat pumps becomes financially less unviable for them than doing nothing.

2. Regarding the heat in summer; the houses insulate well but don't do much to prevent heat coming in from the windows during summer. There are some pretty useful half-fixes; mvhrs+insulation, or recessed windows/overhangs/sunshades massively aid this. For those who rent that's not much help though :(

Anecdote: when using Metalsmith and a sampling of plugins to build my fairly minimal static site, I ended up with 18 direct dependencies and 200 transitive dependencies, including 6 different file name matching libraries.

I now prefer comprehensive standard libraries.
I've been involved plenty of content moderation, just not as an outsourcing target for a microblog company. I suspect the job is much easier when the rules are explicit, provided in advance, and the moderation team is sufficiently staffed, which is the environment I worked in. I have other priorities than making a computer game about it, so we'll never know for sure.
At the point where it disappears for seconds it's a distributed system not an attached disk. At this point you have to start applying the CAP theorem.

At least in Unix the assumption is that disks are always attached (and reliable...) so write errors don't typically bubble up to the application layer. This is why losing an NFS mount typically just hangs the system until it recovers.
I think your viewpoint stems in a belief that there is only so much money to go around. Your view about a landlord taking money is kind of a micro view. I am a landlord…the house I rent I actually built. It is an asset that people are willing to give me money to use for a while…they get a place to live…IF I could not have ever rented it out I would have never built it…it would be a worthless piece of ground that nobody would want to live on…this is how the world works…when I die, I will give it to my son…he will rent it out. Are you saying that he also would be “taking” money from people?

It's unlikely that this will save much in the way of that, you still have to go through the bankruptcy proceedings, just now you also have the IRS digging through your things.
$625?! I'm not saying it's not worth that, for the ... 510 values, 100 of each, but who's this advice for?

To a newcomer, just get some common values, and perhaps not even 100 of them. Then you find out which ones you use most, or a slightly less common value you're missing but use/want, and restock those.

To anyone else, you know what you do, what you use, get that - I'm not sure there's any point in generic advice.

Sounds like massive cope. If we don’t like work perhaps we can change it without waiting on favors to be handed down to us. Your boss won’t help unless market conditions force their hand.

The work conditions you mentioned (free weekday nights and the weekend) were fought for by organized workers and are very new, why stop there?

I don't think we'll even keep those conditions if that's what we're satisfied with. We already see that in tech with Slack, uncompensated on-call, salaried overtime expectations set during hiring or onboarding, the expectation that prospective hires spend their free time on training projects, etc

if money is the only reason, you can get money elsewhere.

it ties back to theory of employee motivation, money being only external motivator. For high performance, employee needs also internal motivation (drive).

employees with internal motivation are miles ahead and more productive than without one.

this is why well paid and pampered Gogle engineers are less productive than some open-source enthusiasts
It's been a while but there definitely are studies. For most "knowledge workers" the biggest jump in productivity was going from one to two; for programmers having three was a non-trivial productivity boost. All of that said, there are times I unplug the laptop from the dock so I can have just one app -- full screen -- in order to concentrate without distractions. Depends on the task but in general two monitors is the sweet spot.
You need to try GPT4 only because GPT3.5 really doesn't compare to it in a lot of ways.
